Tour Scotland Photograph James Hunt Memorial Window

Tour Scotland photograph of the James Hunt Memorial stained glass window, Dunfermline Abbey, Fife, Scotland. During the month of August, 1872, the Dunfermline Abbey Belfry window was glazed with stained emblem glass, by the late James Hunt, Esq., of Pittencrieff, in memory of his father.

The Hunt surname is of pre 7th century English origins. It is usually an occupational surname for one who hunted wildlife for a living. In the Middle Ages the term "hunter" was an official title, and there were different categories from game hunters on foot to the mounted huntsmen, who pursued stags and wild boar. The penalty for hunting without permission in the royal parks, could be death.
