    Really interesting video. I’ve been in exile in Australia for the last 10 years but am planning a return visit to Edinburgh in December 2024. Will make a point of retracing your steps and seeing the high street in a new light. Fond memories of visiting CLX with my father, a PM of St. John Fisherrow 112 and PGM of Midlothian. Thanks for a great job. Ian Bishop MM 112

But then Freemasonary itself was stolen/plagerized from the Irish Phrea Masonary,by the same people,for the same reason,to hide the fact it was stolen in the first place from the Irish.
