This collection of caches is based on the Church Micro series in the UK, which has over 13,500 caches. Given that Adelaide is affectionately known as the City of Churches it seems appropriate to have a small series hidden at historical churches.

Scots Church Adelaide was originally called “Chalmers Free Church”, named after the Rev Dr Thomas Chalmers who established the Free Church of Scotland. It was built by a group of prominent Adelaide citizens, early immigrants to South Australia, who supported the Free Church of Scotland movement.
The foundation stone for the church was laid on the 8th of September 1850, six months after the Rev Gardner’s arrival. The church building was officially opened for worship on July 6th 1851 and the tower was added in 1858. Scots Church is one of the oldest in Adelaide City.
