I was baptised in the Battlefield East Church in October, 1947 by Rev. George M. Dryburgh. I really cannot make out his name, but near enough. I was wondering if any pictures exist of the church. Also is it still a church? I've tried Virtual Mitchell with no results of a picture.

Thank you both for replying. The picture of the church is a lovely one. It is probably the right church as I think my parents lived near Cathcart Rd. Thanks for posting it! I wish I could make out the pastor's name. Oh well, not really important rolleyes.gif

Thank you so much, 27, for the website and the information! You'll think I'm daft, but I actually seem to remember seeing the circular window with the angel before. I wonder if that could be, I was four when I left Glasgow. Thanks again!

Fabulous link, 27. Beautiful windows indeed.
Could someone explain the flag on the right in the picture on the right of the colours?
Just curious.
