Arrochar Parish Church

Baptism and Palm Sunday Window

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a beautiful window just on the left as one enters the Church. Of all the windows in the Church it is the one which was most badly damaged. Now it has been beautifully and lovingly restored.

On the left panel are the words 'This is my beloved Son' and on the right, 'Hosanna in the highest.' At the foot of the window the left panel has the inscription: 'John Forrest Ross - Died 4th. January, 1933. Erected by his sisters.'

The right hand inscription was totally destroyed and no-one knew what it had said. Thus, at the time of the restoration the words 'This window was restored as part of the Church refurbishment 1999 - 2001' were added.

John Ross was of Ross Hotel, which is now the Loch Long Hotel.
