"Interested to read the history of Barns o'Clyde, and especially that of your Founding RWM, Bro. Nathaniel Nisbet who was also the driving force behind the foundation of Lodge Tullibardine 1124 S.C. (now No 227, United Grand Lodge of Queensland), and also Founding RWM for the years 1913 and 1914. We are proud of our Scottish Craft Working, although we lost a number of offices when brought under the UGLQ in 1921. Our ritual has strong Glasgow origins and follows fairly closely that of Bro. D M Goudielock, but with some notable divergences. I suspect those variations may stem from the 1018 ritual or possibly that of Glasgow 441. Of Tullibardine\'s 17 founding Office-Bearers, 12 were from Glasgow lodges with 5 from Lodge Glasgow at Glasgow 441). Of the remaining five, only one came from an \"East\" Scotland lodge (Thistle 270). Six of our founding members were from 1018 with a further 6 from St John Dalmuir 543. I would like to obtain access to your ritual, if that is possible, to compare with ours and help me to firm up on our ritual origins. I am the historian for Tullibardine. Apart from my surname which has Cumbrian origins, my grandmother was from Carmunnock and Glasgow, so I feel right at home in a SCW lodge. I would welcome email contact. Fraternally, Bro Bob Thistlethwaite PM."

"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. "

"On behalf of Bro.John Carmichael(candidate) and myself, may I offer our congratulations on an excellent evening's work in conferring the F.C.degree at Eaglesham on Wednesday 24th May. We both will visit your lodge in the near future and carry on the conversation regarding Clydebank etc. Regards,Jim Stephen."
