Notes ----- This instrument is of particular historic interest, having been the first organ to be lawfully installed and used during worship in a Scottish presbyterian church; this was when it was in its original home of Anderston Established Church (later Anderston and St.Peter's Parish Church). As a result of the union of the Church of Scotland congregations in the Anderston district, the Anderston and St.Peter's building became redundant, and the organ was removed to storage in 1969. It was re-erected in its present home in 1972, replacing a nine-stop three-manual and pedal Peter Conacher chamber organ, which had been in the church since 1916.
