This is a new venue for 2025.
Tucked away in rural Aberdeenshire near the banks of the river Deveron, St. Andrew’s Kirk in Glass is now lovingly cared for by a local registered charity and is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful churches in the region. With its own small car park and knowledgeable guides on hand, visitors are warmly welcomed to step through its doors and discover a truly awe-inspiring space.
Originally built around 1574, shortly after the Reformation, the church was dedicated to St. Andrew. It was rebuilt in 1782 with a larger footprint and later remodelled in 1903 into the impressive form we see today.
The church remains an active part of the community, hosting weddings, funerals, and seasonal services—including cherished Christmas celebrations.
Of particular note are the stained-glass windows by Douglas Strachan, Aberdeen’s celebrated artist and designer of the windows in the Scottish National War Memorial at Edinburgh Castle. These windows are a true highlight:
Each window is a masterpiece of detail and devotion, offering visitors a chance to marvel at the artistry and spiritual symbolism woven into the glass.
This venue has to be visited to appreciate the craftmanship and uniqueness offered internally.
