Bro. George is very well respected and admired and spends his days receiving
visitors at North Merchiston Care Home where he now stays. He fondly tells tales
from when he played the organ at ALL the Lodges he is a member of, not forgetting
the one where he set LK&R's organ on fire, circa 2012.
​


I'm sure you'll join us in congratulating Brother George Tyler on this magnificent
achievement - 70 years a Freemason.
​Bro. George received a Distinguished Service diploma on 14th March 2008 from LK&R
He received a Certificate with other living masons who were all in the chair in 1965,
50 yrs ago, during Polkemmet installation 19/12/2005.
He is the only Mason living who sports 3 centenary Jewels from 
our (LK&R 85) 200th in 1961, our 225th in 1986 and our 250th in 2011
