Lodge Broughty Castle would like to congratulate our W.S.W Bro. Brett Crowhurst and his wife Camilla on the birth of their daughter Carla, who was born on Saturday the 29th of March at 11.59pm. Mother and child (and Brett) are doing well!

On Saturday 8th March we held our annual Scottish night/Burns Supper on this evening and were entertained as always by our young piper Ross Murray the son of Past Master Craig Murray and our "friends" the Parcel "o" rogue's from Lodges Camperdown 317 and Thistle Operative 158. A thoroughly enjoyable evening was had by everyone who attended and an excellent donation was given to the chosen charity by Ally Gowans and co. As always one individual took the brunt of the jokes and this year it fell on the large shoulders of Brother Dave Dewars(who was wearing his marque-"F" shirt on the evening) of Lodge Glamis 99 and also an honorary member of Lodge Broughty Castle 486. Thanks to all who came along for their kind generosity shown on the evening. R.W.M. Bro. Jim Bain

A Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year To All

Friday 23rd March saw the unveiling of the Panels in the East of the Lodge, painted by Bro. David Paris Craig D.A., P.M.of Lodge Discovery No.1789 and Sir Robert Moray No. 1641. The Panels which are full of symbolism and depict the various degrees of Freemasonry were unveiled by Past Prov. S.W. of Fife and Kinross, Bro. James Hutchison, the P.G.Master of Edinburgh, Bro.Maurice Wilson and P.G.Master of Forfarshire, Bro.Angus Murray. A surprise visitor on that evening was M. W. Bro The Earl of Elgin and Kincardine the Past Grand Master Mason of Scotland who unveiled the final panel above the bar area. P.M.Craig gave a detailed explanation of the Panels and is collaborating with P.M.Iain McIntosh of No.486 to produce a book explaining the new Panels as well as the Millennium Panels that already adorn the West Wall of the Temple. The winner of the Prize Draw on that evening was Bro. Derrick Lawrence of Lodge Broughty Castle who received a limited edition print donated by Bro. Craig.
