The Scots Church is a former Presbyterian church in Cobh, County Cork, Ireland.[2][3][4] It is today a museum, the Cobh Museum, which tells the history of the town.[5][6]
The building is in the "Hard" Gothic Revival style, with three-bay nave, single-bay vestry to east and a three-stage, stepped tower with an octagonal limestone spire with consoles to the south elevation.[7] It was designed by Henry Hill.[8]
The church was built in 1854.[9][10] It closed in 1965,[11] and was gifted to Cork County Library in 1973.
