The McClelland family Tour of the church
Stanley & Ian, our Session Clerk, recently had the pleasure of showing the McClelland family round the church.
John (Right), his sister, Marion, and her husband, Tom, are pictured with the minister. The family are related to two of the original Elders of the church, namely William McClelland (Gt. Grand Uncle) and his son Robert (who would be a Cousin). They enjoyed looking through the early church records and photographs and learning of their ancestor's involvement in the life and witness of the church, as well as the construction of the Sanctuary. Inside the sanctuary, they saw the window given by the late Margaret McClelland in memory of her Grandparents, William & Margaret McClelland (nee Latta) as well as Peter Smith McClelland, one of the young men remembered on our War Memorial. The also viewed the hall, believed to be called the "McClelland Hall" after William McClelland drew up the plans for the building which was completed in 1897. |
Summer outing 2022
Fun, friendship, and fellowship on our fantastic Summer Trip!
This happy group headed off from the church to Dobbies Garden Centre in Milngavie for a browse and morning coffee. Next stop was Callander where they enjoyed lunch, a lovely wander and some more shopping. The bus then took them over the pass to Stirling to enjoy high tea at The King Robert Hotel. The weather was wonderful and the patter even better!
