The Scottish War Memorials Project

The Scotsman of Monday, 11th April 1921, page 5 has a short article about the unveiling of memorial windows in Landsborough Church, Saltcoats. In 1968 this church merged with Trinity Church and used the Trinity Church buildings. I fear the worse for these windows.

Hopefully a local paper from April 1921 records the names of the men they commemorated.

Saltcoats
Memorial windows were unveiled yesterday in Landsborough Church, Saltcoats, in memory of fourteen men belonging to the congregation who fell in the war. Rev. W.D. W. Sutherland, Kirriemuir and Roy. W. B. Hutton officiated, and the windows were unveiled by Major Yuille. There was a large congregation, including many returned soldiers. A floral wreath from the children was placed at the base. At the same service a window erected in memory of Mr E. S. Wilson, session clerk and superintendent of the Sabbath school, was unveiled by Mr George Muro Ritchie, London.

Mention here about stained glass windows in Landsborough Trinity Church - possibly the ones referenced in the Scotsman?

Excellent find David. That was back in 1996 so the question is where are they now 13 years later, and were they the Landsborough windows or Trinity windows?

Cheers
