The next window is a modern Stained Glass window installed on the east wall of the vestry on 15^th March 1996. The inscription on brass plaque next to this window reads:- 

"This window is a tribute to the men, women and children of Corstorphine Parish who toiled on the land. In the Kirkyard is the sculpted tombstone of Francis Glog Kirk Elder and Treasurer and Farmer at Claycott died 1738. Francis is shown on the stone sowing and reaping." The stone can be found next to the main door.

Claycott (see left) is now part of the houseing complex on the corner of the High Street and Ladywell Avenue. Above we can see it as it was when it was a farm. The other windows in the church are memorials to the gentry. This window remembers the people in the pews who throughout the centuries have worked on the land within our Parish. (This window was donated by Miss Cowper with money raised through the selling of the copyright of her books "Historic Corstorphine and Roundabout") The Edinburgh Stained Glass House worked to a rough design sketch of Miss Cowper. The stained glass artist Ms. Emma Butler-Cole Aiken finalised the design.
