Thomas Peebles (glazier)

[2] Thomas Peebles constructed windows, possibly from panes and lozenges of imported glass, with cames of lead.

[5] In April 1512 Peebles fixed some of the windows of Linlithgow Palace with sail cloth from Brittany as part of the preparations for Easter.

Prestigious rooms included "painted work, rounds, square pieces with chaplets together with arms and borders".

The building account, kept by James Hamilton of Finnart and the chaplain Thomas Johnson, calls the Great Hall the "Lion Chamber".

[14] After James V died, Peebles repaired windows at the royal palaces of Stirling and Falkland for his widow, Mary of Guise, in 1543.

[17] In August 1550 Walter Binning, a painter and glazier, supplied glass to Regent Arran for Hamilton Palace that was "kelyeit" or marked with his coat of arms.

The Complaynt of Scotland, a poem written in 1549 during the war of the Rough Wooing, mentions heraldry used in seals, signet rings, painted on walls, and "in your glasyn windowis".

[20] A significant survival can be seen at the Magdalen Chapel in Edinburgh's Cowgate, where a window displays the badges of Mary of Guise and the founders Michael MacQueen and his wife Jonet Rhynd.

[21] An earlier reference to stained glass in Scotland was rediscovered by an art historian Margaret Haines working in the archives of Florence Cathedral.
