Tour Scotland Video Forgan Memorial Window Martyrs Church St Andrews

Tour Scotland travel video of the Forgan Memorial stained glass window in Martyrs Church in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. Designed and executed by Douglas Strachan in September 1929, inscribed with a dedication: " To the Glory of God and in memory of Robert Forgan and his wife, Elisabeth Berwick; the gift of their son James B. Forgan, Chicago, USA " There are three main panels in the tall single lancet window which reach 18 feet high and 2.5 feet wide. The first panel is an image from the New Testament depicting Christ blessing children. The central panel depicts the Transfiguration of Christ on the mountaintop. The third and lowest panel is a scene taken from Luke of the resurrected Christ travelling.

This name is of Scottish locational origin from the village of Forgan in the parish of Forgandenny, Fife. Originally spelt Forgrund, the name derives from the Olde English pre 7th century words for land on which pigs were bred or reared.
