Tour Scotland Photograph William Watson Memorial Window Martyrs Church St Andrews

Tour Scotland photograph of the William Watson Memorial stained glass window in Martyrs Church in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. This window is by Herbert Hendrie, dedicated in memory of William Watson. The window depicts St Stephen, the first treasurer of the Christian Church. William Watson was treasurer of the congregation from 1907 to 1937.

Watson is a famous Anglo Scottish surname of great antiquity. Very popular in the north of England and the Border Country, it is one of the patronymic forms of the pre 7th century popular male personal name Watt, itself a development of the Anglo Saxon personal name and later surname, Walter. This has the interesting translation of powerful warrior. It is also claimed that the name was introduced into the British Isles by the Norman French invaders after the Conquest of England in 1066, in the forms of Waltier and Wautier.
