| ROME: Our flights and
accomodation were superbly organised by our RWM. We were delighted to travel to Rome from Scotland to attend the meeting and it was interesting to see Lodge No.237 wear the MacBride tartan, wear their apron as per the Scottish tradition and enter the Lodge to the sound of Scottish bagpipes playing 'Scotland the Brave”. Our Scottish deputation of 18 including 4 Reigning masters was headed by Burnside's RWM Keith Walton PM and we were warmly welcomed into the temple to the stirring sounds of bagpipes. |
 |
| Grand Lodge of
Scotland was represented by our own Bro.Jim
Turnbull PM, Lodge Burnside and Bro.John
McLeish PM, Lodge Dalhousie. The Italian
Provincial Grand Master was also in
attendance. The Lodge conferred an entered
apprentice degree in Italian on a new candidate
with one or two moments explained in English. |

The special meeting was held in the grounds of the Villa Massenzio and the ancient grotto of Domus San Sebastiáno from time of Caesar, was expertly turned into an atmospheric Lodge temple, it was a real wow factor! |
 |
 |
Harmony banquet with the Italian brethren and their wives was in the palatial grounds and consisted of a five course banquet |
| As the evening came to an end
Bro.Will.McArthur PM, played his penny whistle and
gave the brethren a rendition of Burns “ye banks
and braes”. Then got the brethren to form a circle
and played the whistle for 'Auld Lang Syne' which
the Italian brethren eagerly participated in. |
