The Late Dr. Ian H. Thomson, P.M. - Lodge of Sorrow
The late Bro. Dr. Ian Howie Thomson, Past Depute Grand Master, Past Provincial Grand Master, was a greatly respected and honoured member of this Lodge, of which he was a Past Master. His recent loss is greatly felt by all of the members of this Lodge and indeed by countless brethren and friends of Bro. Thomson throughout the Scottish Craft. We are well aware of the immense service and distinguished rank which he had obtained in many other Orders and the members of this Lodge are very proud that his exceptional Masonic career began with his initiation in Lodge Hopetoun St. John. As a mark of respect for this particularly distinguished Brother, the Lodge held a Lodge of Sorrow on Sunday, 25th October, 2009 in the Masonic Temple, Linlithgow. This was attended by members of many Masonic Orders and by a very large and distinguished deputation from The Grand Lodge of Scotland.
