Tron Windows

I find the colours in these stained glass windows on the west side of the Tron Kirk in Edinburgh very subtle and quite different. They  are in complete contrast to the colourful ones alongside and the others on the east side.
I imagine the James Simpson honoured in glass on the right could be the very man who is attributed to discovering the use of chloroform as an anaesthetic.

Built in the 17th century the Tron lost its two side aisles to accommodate South Bridge and Blair Street and closed as a church in 1952. It was subsequently allowed to fall into a state of disrepair before being renovated for use in the Edinburgh Fringe and Hogmanay celebrations. Now it has been reinvented as the site for a market selling craft products and hosting a café.

In 1697, Thomas Aikenhead, an 18-year-old student, became the last person in Scotland to be executed for the crime of blasphemy after a fellow student reported that he had blasphemed against God outside the Tron Kirk. Aikenhead was prosecuted for saying "I wish I were in that place Ezra calls hell so I could warm myself" as he walked by the kirk on his way back from a night of drinking with some classmates.
