From SOJ February 1975, February/March 1983, June/July 1985, August/September 1992, Autumn 2003:

Hill & Son supplied an organ in 1885 for the original St Andrew's Scots Church (situated behind St Andrew's Cathedral) which has survived unscathed. It was paid for by using a £500 legacy from Captain Owen Hughes. The organ was opened with a concert on 28th July, 1885. In 1908 the church sold the property in the city and relocated to Rose Bay, building a new church which was opened in 1913. The final service in the city church was held on 5th November, 1911. The new building contained the organ, memorial windows, mural tablets and furniture from the old building and was opened on 1st November, 1913.

The organ remains in original condition except for the addition of an electric blower. Pitchford & Garside restored the instrument in 1975.
