The name “ALLEGIANCE” was chosen to convey loyalty to the Grand Lodge of Scotland, as well as gratitude to Lodge Wellington, the Mother Lodge of many of our Founder Members.
The emblem of our Lodge reflects the custom in olden times of a candidate for knighthood, before being knighted, passing a night of vigil before the altar with his sword clasped in both hands, the emblem thus illustrating our name, and to this were added poppies and thistles to symbolise the links with Belgium and Scotland.
