• "My fraternal visit to the lodge was arranged at the very last minute, but the welcome I received was extraordinary. All the Brethren and officers were very friendly and interesting to talk to on a range of subjects. The standard of the ritual was to a very high standard, but I've come to expect this from our Scottish brethren from previous visits in the province. What a fantastic night. Thank you very much for an unforgettable evening. "

• "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 "

• "Hello, I am the great granddaughter of Archibald McAllister. Browsing through your very interesting history section, I discovered that Archibald Mcallister had been awarded the honour of Grand Marshal in 1944 in recognition of his 37 years as Treasurer. As you can imagine, I am very proud of my roots. I also know my own grandfather James and a band of brothers were also members of Barns O'Clyde. I would be most grateful if you could send me any other information you may have about the McAllister family of that time. Addresses, spouses names etc, so I can proceed with my family tree, thanking you in anticipation. Adrianne Elizabeth nee: McAllister "
