Kilbowie

Kilbowie St Andrew's Parish Church war memorials are a pair of stained glass windows. They remember the fallen of the First World War.

In 2006 one of the windows was damaged by vandals who threw stones through it. The Church arranged for the repair under the terms of their insurance. In recognition however of their vulnerability the Church also decided to install wire mesh grills on the outside to protect the windows. War Memorials Trust contributed £475 to the cost of these measures to assist with the long term preservation of the war memorial windows. 

The windows were dedicated on 30 October 1920. They were designed by Margaret Chilton A.R.C.A and made by The City Glass Company.

Those in whose memory the windows were erected have been recorded as:
