• " It was my great pleasure to witness the MM Degree conferral the evening of 20 Feb. at Lodge Clydebank No. 1234. The work/ritual was of the highest standard I have observed in any jurisdiction.... within or without Scotland! I was pleased to present the current Right Worshipful Masters of Lodge No. 1234 and Lodge No. 1018 with a commemorative Wyoming Bucking Horse Masonic Lapel Badge on behalf of the Most Worshipful Grand Master of Wyoming-Ill. Brother Richard Lewis. A brief history of the pin was tendered explaining it to be the symbol of the State of Wyoming and that it was patterned after a famous rodeo bucking horse named "Steamboat". The name being derived from the sound the horse made while breathing heavily in rodeo events...following the breaking of bones in the horse's nose and subsequent healing, when breathing heavily it had the sound of a riverboat whistle...hence Steamboat. Fraternal Greetings were extended to the assembled Scottish Brethren on behalf of the Wyoming Grand Master and Lodge Clydebank was thanked for their hospitality and courtesies. All in all...a lovely evening was shared by all present. "

• "I have an old photograph of the office bearers of your Lodge dated 1907. As the photograph is large and deteriorating I have photographed it and am happy to email a copy. My great grandfather John Miller Richmond is in the photo. Please let me know if you would like a copy. Regards."

• "Dear Sir & Brother, I was lead to your website while trying to find Barns o' Clyde RA Chapter - it's a first class site, congratulations. This is trivial but of interest: in cleaning out our cupboard recently we came across a Life Members card (to the Barns o' Clyde RA Chapter) dated 4 August 1938 for Comp Joshua Gourlay. How it came to be in our cupboard in Durban so many miles away is a mystery. I would be grateful if you could pass this bit of trivia on to a member of the RA Chapter which I presume meets in the same temple. Fraternal regards, Geoff Davis, Secretary Lodge Trafalgar 1009 "
