Installation Programmes Appeal

Below is the first programme which we hold—Bro. Dr. Michael Symington in 1926 and another later for Bro. Rev. Kerr McKay in 1932. I am in the process of collecting as many as possible before 1940 so if any brother might have old programmes, please have a look and email me. These are now in two folders and available for brethren to see in the Office Bearers’ Room.

The Cross Keys

A ‘new’ colourised image of the Cross Keys Hotel where the lodge met in the 19th Century. The band stand which was the present from the Houstoun family sits across and the water fountain from the Paton mill owners, both families heavily involved in the lodge. The building to the right of the hotel and the band stand remain today.
