Old Scotch Church

The Old Scotch Church, also known as the Tualatin Plains Presbyterian Church, is a church and national historic site located in an unincorporated part of Washington County, Oregon, near Hillsboro, Oregon, United States. The church dates to 1873 while the church structure with an eight-sided steeple dates to 1878. A cemetery on the church grounds holds the graves of church members and local pioneer settlers of the Tualatin Plains, including Joseph Meek.
==Organization==
The Tualatin Plains Presbyterian Church was organized in 1873 with the first service on November 16.〔(History of the Tualatin Plains Presbyterian Church. ) Old Scotch Church. Retrieved on February 6, 2008.〕 This first service was held at the four-room Columbia Academy schoolhouse with the Reverend George Ross as pastor, four miles (6 km) northwest of the present site.〔 Services were held at the academy until a permanent site for construction of a house of worship could be located by the congregation.〔
These first members of the congregation came primarily from the same area in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, which is located west of Aberdeen.〔 In Scotland, they had been members of the Free Church of Scotland.〔 After immigrating to the United States and traveling to Oregon, they settled near each other in the Tualatin Valley.〔 Because of the settlers' Scottish origin, their church building acquired its common name "The Old Scotch Church."〔 The twelve original Scottish pioneers were: Mr. and Mrs. William Chalmers and their daughter Catherine, Mr. and Mrs. James Smith, Rev. and Mrs. George Ross, Mr. and Mrs. George Alexander, their daughter Eliza, Miss Alexander and John Milne.〔 Many of the descendants of these founding members are buried in the cemetery surrounding the church, as well as eight of the twelve founders.〔
