Celtic Graves J Quinn tribute

Being aware of the history of Celtic by having been involved with the Celtic Wiki for some years I had the great pleasure of attending my first Celtic Graves event on Saturday 16th August, 2014 at Kilsyth. Then the Celtic Graves paid tribute to the late great Jimmy Quinn tribute with Fergus McCann also being…

The Speculative Society of Edinburgh Part 2

“The Spec” Harmless oddball students or sinister, quasi-masonic networkers? Oddball students?: Is the case made by several members who have stuck their heads above the parapet, but is perhaps most eloquently put by extraordinary member Humphrey Errington, producer of Lanark Blue Cheese, who laughed off the claims of an old boy network, Errington said it…

Petition 01491

Background to Scottish Parliament public petition PE01491 My public petition to the Scottish Parliament calls for the law to be amended to require decision-makers to declare membership of secret societies such as the freemasons, that demand fraternal preference to their brethren over non-brethren, or organisations which have constitutions or aims that are biased against any…

Section 2: Elgin lied to the Select Committee

Elgin lied to the Select Committee of Parliament that purchased the marbles. Professor Rudenstine has established that Elgin lied to Parliament by stating that he (Elgin) personally travelled to Athens with the second firman. This revelation by the Professor is substantiated by correspondence from Hunt to Richard William Hamilton stating that he (Hunt) was leaving…

Freemasonry

Published, Jun 4, 2014 at 20:29 As I enter my 74th year I am surprised that in the second decade of the twenty first century there is no debate on the corrosive effects the ancient practices of freemasonry have on Scottish life. I say corrosive as my personal experiences of freemasonry have, in the main…

Magic Circle Man

Magic Circle Man In “My First Lawyer” I told of how my first experience of the legal profession had been less than positive. Around about the same time that I was becoming disenchanted with the Bruce law firm the engineering business I had formed started to take off and as it became bigger and more…
