Greetings! I'll be sending off a letter, today, but I thought I'd also post here to see if there's some one from he Lodge of Melrose St John no 1, in Roxburghshire, who might communicate with me. I am seeking information on the lodge's history (I'll be ordering the book) and, in particular, a brother regularly initiated by the lodge in the 18th Century. Anyone?

When you go, will you get pictures? I'm told that picture is how the lodge looked . . . before (note large hole in the roof). I'd love to see how it looks today

I will definitely try, and if I get there you bet I will take many photos. Does anyone know how far is it from, for example, Roslyn Chapel?

I pulled a Googlemap and it's looking like about 230 miles. The journey, especially in spring and summer, must be breathtaking

Melrose is no more than 1hr away from Edinburgh up the A7. If you do go there check out the burial place of Bruce's heart at the Abbey, as well as Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott,(freemason), Stow is also nearby, which was where the first speculative lodge was formed in 1702, www.haughfoot.co.uk/
