#LestWeForget #StainedGlassSunday Memorial window, by #DouglasStrachan in Morrison’s Academy, Crieff. Photos of just a few of the FPs who died.
#StainedGlassSunday By #DouglasStrachan in Gilcomston Church, Union Street, Aberdeen. This year is the 150th anniversary of Strachan’s birth.
I love #DouglasStrachan glass wherever I see it. For me, his complete set of windows at St Thomas’s church, at Winchelsea, in East Sussex, takes some beating, even if it is about as far away from Scotland as one can be in Britain. Examples from there here:
#StainedGlassSunday Daughter was on a visit to her old school, Morrison’s Academy, for its 165th anniversary celebrations yesterday. Here she is in front of its war memorial window, by #DouglasStrachan. Brought back memories of reading the lesson!
David Anointed as King - 1916 Douglas Strachan (1875-1950) From Heatherlie Parish Kirk, Selkirk, Scotland
It was interesting to visit #Ely & the @stainedglassmuseum.bsky.social .
Last year they purchased a stained glass window by #DouglasStrachan.
Apparently it used to be in Heatherlie Parish Kirk, Selkirk.
#DouglasStrachan was born 150 years ago today. Here in Crieff we have two of his #StainedGlass works. There’s a war memorial window in Morrison’s Academy and a Pilgrim’s Progress window in the dilapidated former South Church, in memory of George Strathairn, a former Rector of Morrison’s.

Very interesting visit to Dunblane Cathedral, with informative talk on the #StainedGlass by Rona Moody, followed by a meeting of the Scottish Stained Glass Symposium. Here’s the smallest window #DouglasStrachan made. Daffodils and tulips to brighten up a blustery and showery day.
