• "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."

• "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."

• "Well done to everyone involved in getting the website up and running. Great to look back on the history of 1018 and also to see so many familiar faces from more than 30 years ago. I even found myself in a couple of the photographs. - Special thanks to Kenny Currie for pointing me to the site. "
