A RARE Tiff any window, commissioned by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie has been installed in the Abbey Church of Dunfermline – more than 100 years after it was created.
The Victorian millionaire who famously gave away the fortune he made when he and his family emigrated to the USA, commissioned the window in 1912 in memory of his late mother and father who had lived in a cottage near the historic Abbey Church. He had hoped the window could be installed in the historic nave of the Abbey.
A decision was taken at that time by H M Commission for Ancient Monuments that the stained glass window was unsuitable for the nave because of its pastoral design. The window was left in storage for many years and subsequently installed within the town’s Carnegie Hall – a theatre purpose built for the Fife town with funding from Carnegie’s legacy.
