“To the Glory of God and in loving memory of MARION ROBERTSHAW MacLEAN formerly sister Q.A.I.M.N.S.(R). who died 30th, August, 1956.”
This stained glass window to the memory of Marion Robertshaw MacLean who died 1956 is at the end of the western arm of the church. The information on the window has been researched and information on the Church and the local area is available in the Church at opening times and through those still continuing the gathering and presenting of the history. I was on a trip between Megalithic Standing Stones and to the Witches' Stone just outside the village of Spott.
We were very fortunate to find the Church open and I used available light to catch what I could of the interior. We were greeted and made welcome and shown some of the history of the area from the fantastic records that were in the Church. Some of these pictures might be further edited as I have not been well and editing the healing message and symbology has been all too saturated with richly coloured stained glass strength perceptions trying to work a way into my everyday vision. The over emphasis on scrutinising images as you edit can bring about strange views, nothing that a cup of tea and time away from the screen cannot cure. I feel that I need to make a return visit and ask about using a tripod to bring out the light better.
