Stained GlassBrechin Cathedral

One of the Cathedral's features that visitors find most impressive is its vast array of modern stained glass. The windows, all donated since 1902, have been created by some of Scotland's most famous artists and craftsmen.  For example, the Cathedral features a number of William Wilson's stained glass windows.  His work (which included printmaking) is located in other parts of Scotland: from St Salvator's Hall at the University of St Andrew's; and the Parish Church of Auchtermuchty and Dunshalt; to the Eric Liddell Centre in Edinburgh.

 


We had a visit of 50 Master Glass Painters to our Cathedral on Saturday 29th August 2009 to which Peter Cormack MBE gave the main commentary.
