Walking In the steps of St Magnus
Walking In the steps of St Magnus In aid of the Comper Windows in the St Nicholas Chapel at St Margaret’s Following on the tremendous success of last year’s venture in the steps of St Moluag, Dean Emsley, Steven Boon and Professor Allan Macinnes of St Margaret’s congregation are again setting out on the road, this time partly in the steps of St Magnus! They intend to walk and sail down through the United Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney beginning at Scaw in Unst in Shetland on Monday the 4th of May arriving back in Aberdeen for Saturday the 16thof May 2015. We will be in the Northern Isles until Sunday the 10th of May and restarting the walk at Fraserburgh on the late morning of Tuesday12th of May. Anyone is invited to join us. Please follow progress on the Diocesan Website. This time the pilgrimage is an effort to raise necessary monies for repairs to the St Nicholas Chapel windows in St Margaret’s Gallowgate. The Chapel and its stained glass are the work of Sir Ninian Comper, the 150th anniversary of whose birth fell almost a year ago on 10th of June 2014. Ninian was the son of Fr John Comper who had been Rector of St John’s Crown Terrace and who had founded St Margaret’s Gallowgate in 1867. The extension to St Margaret’s in 1890 with the St Nicholas Chapel was the first piece of work the young Comper designed. He had been commissioned to do this by his father. It was from that that Ninian went on to become the celebrated church architect that made him universally acclaimed. The St Nicholas Chapel contains the earliest piece of stained glass by NinianComper and as such is important in the history of the Arts and Crafts Movement in Scotland. The chapel itself is the first piece of stone-vaulting erected in Aberdeen since the Reformation. Any donations towards this venture will be most gratefully received. Ninian Comper’s work in the Diocese is extant in St Magnus Lerwick, St Andrew’s Cathedral, St Margaret’s Gallowgate, St John’s Crown Terrace, St Mary’s Inverurie, St Drostan’s Old Deer and All Saints’ Whiterashes. The Convent in the Spital, St Margaret’s Braemar, St Margaret’s Forgue and St Clement’s in the Quay sadly no longer operate for public worship.
