Tour Scotland Photograph Stained Glass Window St Bean’s Church Perthshire

Tour Scotland photograph of a stained glass window in St Bean's Church, Fowlis Wester, Perthshire, Scotland. This window was installed in memory of Reverend Thomas Hardy, beloved Minister of the Parish from 1852 to 1910.

Hardy is an English and a French surname, of Old French origin. Hardy comes from Old French hardi, meaning bold or courageous, which comes from Old Frankish hardjan meaning, to make hard. The final -y is also typical of the French proper names, first names, surnames and place names, with the notable exception Henri, when it is a given name. The name could also be an Anglicized form of the Irish name Mac Giolla Deacair meaning, son of the hard lad.
