St Martin of Tours (c.316-397): by C. E. Kempe, 1894. Inscribed: "Placed here by his brother officers in memory of Major Douglas James MacGregor MacDonald, Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, died 17th Nov. 1893, aged 43." This window depicts St Martin offering a coin to a beggar, a reference to an incident from his early life when he divided his cloak to cloathe a beggar, following which Christ appeared to him in a dream wearing the garment that he had given away.
