This window is in the porch, a seventeenth-century addition to the church tower, which became the main entrance during the 1905 restoration. This window in 1905 cost approximately £30. As a contrast to this the 1994 replacement cost £963. Its Title is "Behold I stand at the door and knock." which comes from Revelations Chapter 3 v20. The current window is by Phoenix Glass, St.Mary’s Street, Edinburgh and was installed in December 1994 and replaces the 1905 window gifted by Dr. James and Dr. Thomas Bullions Shoolbread in memory of the Bullion Family. In the churchyard below this window is a flat coped gravestone with a cross this is for Jessie Stewart Bullions, their aunt, who died on 28th September 1929. The 1905 window showed Christ as the Light of the World, this theme has been retained in the replacement.
