That designation is easy to pass over, but it points to something worth pausing on: a Presbyterian congregation of Scottish character, building in stone in a corner of County Cork just one year after the map was made.

The building dates from 1843, as recorded on a plaque on the structure itself. Its design follows a plain but considered Gothic Revival formula: gable ends capped with pinnacles at the corners, and slim pointed windows that let in light without much ornament. The entrance porch faces north. The long axis of the building runs north to south, which is a less common orientation than the traditional east-west alignment found in most older church buildings. The 'Scots' designation on the Ordnance Survey map reflects the Presbyterian communities that established themselves across Munster during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, often with strong ties to Scottish settlement in Ulster and to the broader Scots-Irish migration patterns of that era. By the 1840s, such congregations were numerous enough in market towns like Bandon to warrant purpose-built premises of modest but considered architecture.
