Fyvie: St Peter's Kirk east window
The present church dates from 1808AD, however the first St Peter's church was referred to as far back as 1178AD.
At the east end of the kirk is a stained glass window depicting St George made made by American artist 'Louis Comfort Tiffany'. This window was donated to the church by American friends in memory of Percy Forbes-Leith of Fyvie Castle who died in the 'South African War' in 1900. In the window St George is wearing a coat of armour and holding a flaming sword in his right hand and the banner of the cross in his left hand. This window is considered 'priceless' because the secret of producing the glass was a Tiffany speciality and has been lost with the death of the last member of the Tiffany family.
The church is normally closed, except for services, but was open as part of the Fyvie Home Coming festivities in August 2009.
