Looking up a stairwell in the former Old Cowcaddens Church in Glasgow. Designed by Campbell Douglas and Sellars, it was built in 1872. A stained glass window by John Clark was added below the original glass cupola above these stairs when it was converted into the National Piping Centre by McGurn, Logan, Duncan and Opfer in the 1990s.

A rather beautiful stained glass window by John Clark creates in 1997 for the National Piping Centre in Glasgow. It's mounted below a cupula at the top of a staircase in the former Victorian church and shows Scottish folk dance in progress. The background is translucent, rather than blue, but here you can see the blue of the twilight sky above it.
