ROYAL VISIT 21-09-2021

Following the recent completion of our work to replace the roof, repair the stained glass windows and refurbish the Heraldic Ceiling, we were delighted to receive a visit from HRH The Duke of Rothesay (as he is known in Scotland).

On a perfect day of warm sunshine, the Duke, accompanied by the Lord Lieutenant, Barney Crockett,  met representatives of the Architects, the  Contractors and the subcontractors and toured the building inspecting the works.

He also met representatives of the Cathedral and listened to a short piece played on our organ by our Director of Music, Roger Williams.

These pictures, taken for us by Niall Hastie,  capture the highlights of a memorable day.

During the service, the Moderator presented Long Service Certificates signed by him, recognising the services of elders, choir members and others who had served their church for 30, 40 or 50 years. A grand total of 48 certificates was presented on the evening, with a further 21 awarded in absentia. St Machar’s was well represented, with certificates being awarded to the following:
