The
Church Organ
Following the clock, the organ was the next major investment
for St. Mungo's. An Organ Committee was formed on 11th
November 1886, with Dr. Badger of Fetteresk House as chairman,
together with Secretary R. Henderson High Street, and Teasurer
James Anderson from the Clydesdale Bank and a committee 25
strong plus the choir. Charged with raising funds, it is
a tribute to their enthusiasm that by September 1887 the funds
had been accrued and alterations to the Church to receive the
new instrument were carried out. The installation of the organ
was carried out in October 1887.
Built by Miller of Perth,
the records show the instrument cost £250
with fitting costs off £111, 12s. 1d.
Rebuilt
by Hamilton around 1910 the instrument is now maintained by Rushworth and Dreaper, who also rebuilt the unit between
December 1992 and January 1993. A balanced swell pedal was
fitted during this rebuild.
