at St. Andrews Church in Toronto
St. Andrew's Church is a large and historic Romanesque Revival Presbyterian church in downtown Toronto, Canada. The congregation also maintains ties with its Scottish roots. The 48th Highlanders Regiment have a strong link with the congregation, and in March 2005, to celebrate their 175th Anniversary as a congregation, the Moderator of the Church of Scotland, Dr. Alison Elliot, was their speaker.

The 48th Highlanders Museum museum is located in the basement of the church. Founded in 1959, the museum opened in its current location in 1997. The museum collects and exhibits the weapons, uniforms, equipment and related items of the 48th Highlanders.
