Tour Scotland Video Ferguson Window Parish Church Clackmannan

Tour Scotland video of the Ferguson memorial stained glass window on ancestry visit to the Parish Church in Clackmannan, Clackmannanshire, Scotland. The gift of Miss Eliza Ferguson in memory of her parents, her father, Henry, who worked in the local wool mill, and Isabella, her mother, who was a seamstress.

Spinning and weaving went hand in hand with agriculture in Clackmannanshire. There would be little work carried on in the woollen mills during sowing or harvest time but after shearing, local farmers would bring in their fleeces to be processed and take them away as blankets and tweed cloth. Many communities had their own local district woollen mill, but the majority of these disappeared between the two World Wars.
