Beautiful Stained Glass Windows On Visit To The Cathedral in Dunblane Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video of beautiful stained glass windows on ancestry visit to the Cathedral in Dunblane near Stirling. In order of appearance in this video are, Compassion of Christ window, John the Baptist and The Good Shepherd window, Apostles window, Departure window, Arrival window, Baptismal window, Bishop Clement window, Allegory window, Uriel And Raphael window, Chaos window, Earth window, Humanity, window, Michael And Gabriel window, John Alexander Hay memorial window, King memorial window, Provost window, Donaldson memorial window, Willison memorial window, Campbell memorial window and East window. The distance by road from Perth, Perthshire to Dunblane is 31 miles. Most windows dating from the 16th century and before were destroyed through Reformation violence, or by centuries of Scottish weather and neglect. Colourful glass had no place in the newly reformed Scottish Kirk, so it was not until the 19th century that the art of Stained Glass in Scotland once again began to flourish. Stained glass windows added an authentic medieval touch to buildings being designed in the fashionable new Gothic Revival style, but over the decades various art movements have provided inspiration for stained glass artists. Post war, memorial windows dominated, but after 1918 the exploration of personal and contemporary style became predominant.
