About the appeal

The mosaic appeal is the story of a small Scottish congregation
striving to preserve a wonderful work of art for all to see.

A church existed in Port of Menteith in the 13th century as one of four linked to the Augustinian Priory of Inchmahome. Today the ruined priory is an Ancient Monument, and Port of Menteith Church is the only remaining one of those churches alive and thriving. The present building is the third on the site and was built in 1878. This church features an exceptionally beautiful Stephen Adam stained glass trefoil window depicting Faith, Hope and Charity, gifted in his memory by the family of James MacOran Campbell, Lord Provost of Glasgow 1840 and father of Henry Campbell Bannerman, Prime Minister 1905.

Built on the edge of the Lake of Menteith the church is vulnerable to the weather coming in from the west over the waters of the loch, and the stonework and windows are now showing considerable signs of erosion and water ingress. It is vital to preserve the building and the fine Stephen Adam window and this will cost £500,000.

We would like to invite people to help us by buying a tile from our mosaic, a detail from the Stephen Adam window depicting Hope. We have great Faith and Hope that we will succeed in our endeavour to raise this money with the help and generous Charity of all our friends.
