Window of Delights

This stained glass window is located just inside the entrance of Peebles parish church. It is one of two modern windows designed by Crear McCartney. They were gifed to the church in the early 1990s.

I love this window not only because it so so colourful but because it contains so many things I love about this area - the herons which fish on the River Tweed, the pheasants, curlew and lapwing which call in the fields and hills, the sheep, the flowers like the foxglove and of course the salmon - the Peebles coat of arms depicting three swimming salmon appears in the top of the window.

Much colder today - on a few degrees centigrade - but sunnier and brighter.
