STAINED GLASS IN SCOTLAND
SCOTTISH GAZETTE
"A SCOTTISH STAINED GLASS GAZETTE"
by Rona Moody
This is a gazetteer of stained glass throughout Scotland. I have put
it together from a variety of sources - publications, studio lists, personal
visits, newspaper cuttings, personal letters and conversations.
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 people of the Garioch are passionate about their local history and heritage. I share this passion in my artwork whether it be painting, drawing or glass, sometimes combining the actual media.
I use the ancient glass techniques of long ago coupled with the most modern technology to continue to create and adore the most wonderful art of glass.

(Editor's note: this is the best written stained glass web site I have
come across, although you do have to get deep into it to see samples of
the work done by the studio.)

GLASGOW: KILNRIGG GLASS
Keen to obtain a leaded or stained glass panel depicting English Setters, Lorraine browsed antique fairs, fine art shops, etc., but
came to light. So she attended college to learn to make one herself.
Her first work was an internal window for her dining room measuring four feet by two feet (140cm by 70cm). She progressed to making
individual panels of various subjects for acquaintances and friends. This led to the international commissions for which she is now known.
