	This is a gazetteer of stained glass throughout Scotland, compiled by Rona Moody, Rona Moody Stained Glass, Derbyshire, UK. I have put it together from a variety of sources - publications, studio lists, personal visits, newspaper cuttings, personal letters and conversations. Details are sometimes incredibly sketchy and frequently slightly - or hugely! - wrong. I hope that you will let me have any corrections, additions or appropriate links. Some of the windows may no longer be in existence, or have been taken out to go somewhere else or may not be generally accessible. Check before you head off on a trek up some remote glen! The places where the windows are recorded are given under their old counties, since this list was started before the 1974 boundary changes. Go to the Scottish locations page and click on the county name at the base. If you do not know which county the town is in, go to Look up a town.

	Stained glass in Scotland has tended to be neglected; we have neither the wealth of scholarship or indeed the wealth of actual old glass of our larger and more affluent neighbour, England. Our late 19th and 20th century stained glass, however, can be superb. The oldest stained glass we have - apart from in collections such as the excellent Burrell in Glasgow, or little fragments scattered around the country - is in the Cowgate, Edinburgh, and dates from c1542. Sadly, as you can see (even allowing for the quality of my pictures!), it is not very exciting.

	Further, there is very little written about Scottish stained glass, though that is gradually changing.

	Bibliography

If you can get hold of it (it's currently out of print), Michael Donnelly's excellent
Scotland's Stained Glass is an ideal starting point.

The Stationery Office, Edinburgh, 1997, ISBN 0 11 495793 2

Another very useful - thus out of print !- one is Victorian Stained Glass by Martin Harrison.

Barrie & Jenkins, London, 1980, ISBN 0 214 20689 0

To both of these books I'm immensely indebted for much of the information needed to put this site together. Further books are listed in the bibliography.

Any amendments or additions - particularly pictures - are gratefully received!
If you want something added to the mystery page, please let me know.
