They are newly designed after the Fire in 1994 devastated the Church and the original windows. During the reconstruction, the idea gradually grew of a new glazing scheme representing the stories of Creation and Re-Creation, Building and Rebuilding, with underlying themes of Faith and Light. The windows are made in the traditional lead glazing technique using handmade glass manufactured in Britain France, Germany and Poland and incorporating lenses and prisms for added effect. Some of the colours were specially made for this project including French glass blown in two layers, a thin blue overlying a deep pink. This is one of many glasses which are etched with hydrofluoric acid to give subtle variations in texture and hue, in this case varying from pink through every shade of mauve to rich blue. The windows were cartooned at full-size, acid etched, cut, lead glazed and subsequently installed by a team of eight craftsmen and women over a period of approximately a year. The overall area of stained glass is 80 square metres.

The sixth window is patterned with the footprints of Scottish wild animals; a herd of red deer cross from left ot oright, a wildcat passes by, grouse come and go and an otter leaves its track. Humanity is represented by the footprints of a child. A spiral rises through them all, symbolising the DNA molecule, the engine of evolution which links together all the creatures of Creation.
