This used to be an old Anglican Mission Church set up by Scottish Missionaries on the Swaziland South Africa border, this was the Southernmost reach of the what was to be Nu Scotland region that was settled by Scottish Setlers in the 1860's.
The nearby town of Amsterdam was founded in 1866 by Scotsman Alexander McCorkindale. The settlement was originally known as Roburnia (after Robert Burns the Scottish poet) and was set to become the center for the surrounding area known as New Scotland.
These plans never materialized and Roburnia was re-named Amsterdam in 1882 by order of President Paul Kruger to Amsterdam in 1882. There is also a South African Natural Heritage site near the town.
