Gartsherrie LOL 8

Gartsherrie LOL 8 Gartsherrie LOL No.8 A Proud Loyal Orange Lodge in Coatbridge District 22. A great number of these were of Irish decent and brought Orangesim with them.

Gartsherrie No.8 was Established 190 Years ago, and is one of the orange oldest lodges in the world. LOL No.8 Was established by the many people who poured into the Coatbridge area to find work in the coalmines and iron works. Gartsherrie iron works, with its policy for only employing Protestants, was the perfect breeding ground for the fledging movement. From our First master namely Brother John

Robertson 1834-1842 to our current Worthy Master S Ringrose 2022- present, all of which have represented our lodge throughout its history and welcoming every brother visiting our lodge.

A small contingent of members of Gartsherrie LOL 8 took the short trip up to Airdrie this evening as we had the honour of taking part in the 190th Anniversary Parade of Airdrie District LOL No 1.

We would like to sincerely thank the District for their invitation and congratulate them on reaching the incredible milestone of 190 years, a tremendous achievement and a testament to the strength and dedication of the Institution in Airdrie over generations.

A little piece of history many may not know is that Gartsherrie LOL 8 were originally one of the founding members of Airdrie District before later moving on and becoming one of the founding members of Coatbridge District some years later. It was therefore a proud occasion for our members to once again parade alongside the District where part of our own history began.

Congratulations once again to Airdrie District LOL No. 1 on this historic occasion.
