Lodge Royal Thistle - The Royal Scots 1338

Today, members of Lodge Royal Thistle (The Royal Scots) 1338 attended the annual wreath-laying at Rosebank Cemetery, Edinburgh to commemorate the Royal Scots soldiers who perished in the Quintinshill rail disaster on 22 May 1915.

We Will Remember Them.

A message from the Right Worshipful Master....

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who made my installation a success. I was truly humbled and blown away by everyone's sentiments and best wishes. It was truly a magnificent day.
I was surprised to have in attendance many friends from within and outwith the province of Midlothian with many coming from Paisley, Aberdeenshire and Millport.

Once again I thank you all and promise to carry the lodges best interests forward the ensuing 12 months!

RWM Bro. Robin Farrer
