A Gala Event For The Guards As They Visit Loanhead

The Guards Roll into Loanhead Gala 2025

This past weekend, the Widows Sons Solomon’s Guard Scotland were honoured to attend the Loanhead Gala — a long-standing community event full of colour, pride and tradition.

We were invited along by our good friends and brethren from Lodge St Leonards Loanhead and Lasswade No. 580, and it was our privilege to support them throughout the day.

Events like this are a fantastic opportunity for us to help bring Freemasonry into the public eye, showcasing the fraternity’s commitment to community, connection, and brotherhood.

One of the highlights of the day was seeing the sheer number of families, children, and curious adults who came over to the stand. Bikes were sat on, photos were snapped, and smiles were everywhere.

The stand was buzzing with activity all afternoon — and RWM Mark McLuskey summed it up perfectly when he said how happy he was to see the Guards there, and even happier to see so many smiling faces around the stall.

Special mention also goes to Bro. Keith Forrest, who brought along his impressive racing sidecar, drawing even more attention and fascination from visitors of all ages.

The level of interaction between the public, the Guards, and the brethren was truly heartwarming — proof that Freemasonry remains a living, breathing part of our communities here in the Lothians.

To top it all off, the weather held, the sun made an appearance, and a great day was had by all.

A huge thanks to Lodge St Leonards 580 for the invitation and camaraderie, and to everyone who stopped by for a chat, a photo, or just to say hello. Freemasonry was proudly on show, and we were delighted to play our part.

Until next time — ride safe and support each other.

Guards Are On Parade In Penicuik

Widows Sons Solomon’s Guard Proudly Take Part in Penicuik on Parade 2025

The Widows Sons Solomon’s Guard Scotland were honoured to be invited to take part in this year’s Penicuik on Parade — a beloved annual event that brings the whole community together in celebration.

For our chapter, being part of the procession was not only a privilege but also one of the highlights of our calendar.

Riding in formation through the town, shoulder to shoulder with community groups, local heroes, and proud representatives of Penicuik’s vibrant organisations, was a truly memorable experience.

More than just taking part, we were proud to help shine a spotlight on Freemasonry. Throughout the afternoon, we joined and supported the brethren from Lodge St Kentigern No. 429 at their information stand in the park. Their presence helped spark conversations, answer questions, and break down some of the misconceptions that still surround our craft.

As Masonic motorcyclists, we’re always looking for opportunities to connect with the public and show that Freemasonry is alive, active, and community-minded — and Penicuik on Parade offered just that.

We’d like to thank the event organisers, the people of Penicuik, and of course, our brothers from Lodge St Kentigern for their warm welcome and camaraderie. We look forward to taking part again in future years and continuing to support Freemasonry in action.

Ride safe,

Widows Sons Solomon’s Guard Scotland

Easter Egg Run 2025

On Sunday 20th April 2025, a number of guards headed to the the Falkirk Kelpies to meet up with other riders for the annual Falkirk Easter Egg Run.

This annual event is organised by Carron Valley Motorcycle Club in aid of CHAS (Children's Hospices Across Scotland) and always attracts a large number of bikes.

Supporting events and charities like this is a major part of what Widows Sons Solomon's Guard Scotland do. We all share a passion for motorbikes but we also share a passion for helping others.

The Falkirk Easter Egg Run is one of many that take part throughout the UK, with bikers coming together to donate, eggs, money and their time for the benefit of others.

If you are organising an event in Scotland and would like the guards to come along with their bikes. Then please contact our secretary and we will see what we can do.

Below are some pictures from not only the Falkirk run, but from runs down South organised or supported by our fellow Widows Sons and brothers of the road.
