This window, and the following two on the south wall of the Nave, are scenes from the Teachings of our Lord, the theme was suggested by the Very Rev. James MacGregor of St.Cuthbert’s, Edinburgh. This window was made by Alexander Ballantine and Son and were installed during the 1905 restoration and cost approximately £45. This the first one depicts "The Sower & The Reaper" and its inscription reads "In memory of Peter Hannay Dickson of Papkura New Zealand and Jean Campbell his wife - Erected by his mother in 1904."

A characteristic of many stain glass artists at the beginning of the 20^th century was the addition of tiny details at the edges of the windows. Ballantine was no exception to this, note the small building at the elbow of the sower and again in the top of both lights.

Against the outside east wall of the Baptistry is the Dickson gravestone. Peter Hannay Dickson was born on 28^th September 1861 in Aberdeenshire, and died on 27^th February 1894, he was buried at Wanganui New Zealand. His father was John Dickson of Corstorphine (1809-1872) and his mother John’s second wife Mary Hannay (1819-1913), they married at Twynholm on the 15^th March 1859. Jean Campbell, Peter’s wife, returned to Scotland after her husbands death she died two years later in Moffat on 17^th July 1896. She was buried at Corstorphine in the Dickson Grave. I will tell you more of the Dickson family when we look at the Great East window. (St.Matthew Chapter 13 vv14-30)
