Organ Screen

Organ Screen

The elaborate organ screen is the work of Walter Campbell himself and shows how good a craftsman he was. The design of the screen in such rich details is highly symbolic of the stages of spiritual development from pagan times through to early Christian.

In the lower panels we find Griffins, representing creatures of pagan times, while above is a belt of interlaced ribbon work, symbolising eternity.

Higher up, there are crosses in Celtic ribbon work representing Christian times.

At the top of of the screens are the emblems of the four Heavenly Creatures, the Lion, the Calf, the Man and the Eagle as described in Revelations IV.7

Supporting the entrance to the Kirk Organ are Pelicans, which are symbols of self-sacrifice and if you look up you will see the Wings of Time, knotted together by the Celtic knot of the Holy Trinity.
