Fantastic new book about the history of the Orange Order in Glasgow
Author Jon MacDonald has done a great job in this well written and wonderfully illustrated book - starting from the first lodge in Glasgow being formed right up to the modern day. Some 200 years.
It gives a great insight into the reality of lodge life - not the sensationalism so often seen in the press - and the great work and characters the Glasgow Orange has produced.
It’s written in a lively style that doesn’t compromise it’s historical rigour or accuracy - as well as being an insight into the Orange Order in the city it provides a wonderful sidelight to the social history of the city and Scotland as a whole.
I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Past Grandmaster Bro Tommy Orr was a member of my Lodge.Got mine a it’s a cracking read.
My da’s auntie was the treasurer for the Brigton lodge probably 30’s 40’s or 50’s.Great title. Does anyone know if Grand Lodge have historic records of membership, specifically in the Bridgeton area ?

The Right Worthy County Grand Master Brother Edward McGonnell, accompanied by lone flautist Gary Wright of the Black Skull Corps of Fife and Drum, on behalf of the members of the County Grand Orange Lodge of Glasgow, laid a wreath at the Cenotaph this morning in George Square in tribute to the Fallen.
I think that you will find the Lodge featured is Commodore Watson's True Blues LOL149 and that the picture was taken in Belfast.My copy arrived yesterday but not allowed to read it until my birthday which is conveniently on the 12th July.
Although never having been a member I have attended the Glasgow demonstration many many times ( minus the blue bag ). My first recollection was the late 60's when my Granny stayed in the flats at Cathedral Square or as my aunt called it Ladywell. My memory was that the walk came up High Street then down John Knox Street and into Duke Street although it may have just been a feeder parade.
This was the album i grew up listening to and i still have a copy. Can anyone confirm if the front cover is Glasgow High Street as i was always under the impression it was showing the nurses from the infirmary in the bottom left corner but it could also be Belfast ?

Watson was, if I remember correctly the County Grand Master of Belfast in mid 19th century, although there was a Commodore Watson associated with Lisburn in 1798. I would have to do further research
