Craigiebuckler Parish Church

Description:

Early English-style nave and chancel. No tower but a bellcote containing bells recast from the fragments of 'Auld Lowrie', the great bell which had hung in the tower of the Kirk of St Nicholas from 1351 until it was shattered when it fell during the fire of 1874. Of greatest interest are the windows. Those in the nave are by William Wilson, the greatest glass worker in Scotland in his time, and were executed and dedicated between 1960 and 1971. They are considered to be of national importance.
