'I to the Hills' window

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our 'I to the Hills' window is beside the organ. A beautiful window, one can see an artist's impression of the Cobbler above the figure on the left and one of Ben Lomond above the figure on the right. This window was in great need of restoration due to the deterioration of the old lead. Now it is as good as new!

The wording on the left-hand panel is 'I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills', and further down 'Non Crux solo Lux' under which are the words 'Praise ye the Lord'.  On the right-hand panel are the words 'I am the Good Shepherd and know my Sheep' and lower down 'Gloria in excelsis'.

The inscription at the foot of the window reads 'To the Glory of God and in Memory of William George Black of Ardmay and Anna Robertson Blackie Black his wife. Gifted 1933'.

Underneath is the name 'David Gauld RSA' and 'Guthrie & Wells'.
