Wednesday 17 June 2026 saw the annual Provincial Visitation to Lodge St Modan No 985 in Taynuilt. The deputation was led by Bro. James McMillan, DPGM, assisted by Bro. John Stewart, PGM, making a total of 29 members of the Provincial Grand Lodge. Over 80 brethren signed the sedurant, very busy and very warm! Young Bro. Russell Macfadyen received his FC Degree from the office-bearers of 985. Absolutely faultless and brilliant floor work we have come to appreciate from 985.
The Lodge also received a clear minute from Provincial and is in good order.
Then it was Bro. Ivor Leitch’s turn. He was presented with a 70 Year Diploma! Bro. Leitch is 95 years old and remains a great asset to Lodge St Modan.
Another presentation followed as three brethren were made Honorary Members:
- Ronnie Kennedy, Lodge Lochfyne 754;
- Joe O’Connell, PM, Lodge Lochiel No 1200;
- and Norman Calder, the Lodge of Fort William No 43.
A very full evening and great organisation and friendship. I would like to pass on my thanks to the Master of Lodge St Modan, Bro Michael McPhee, and the brethren of 985 for once again looking after us all and for the terrific hospitality!
