I'm not sure what section to put this in but I think it is worth trying to get a list of Ancient Order of Foresters lodges for Scotland together. We now have two district memorials and one court recorded and one other mentioned and I'd be very surprised if more don't turn up.

Perth District and Dalkeith District are on the forum and I found a reference to a Dundee District. Not all lodges had fatalities and may not be listed on Rolls but it's probably worth recording them here if only to rule them out.

If a lodge is included on a Roll of Honour, or has a RoH of its own I have highlighted it as red below.

As you can see there are a lot of gaps. Thanks to those in the other threads who have already contributed some information but any help tracking down other lodges and filling in the gaps we've got would be appreciated. I am going to e-mail the Foresters Heritage Trust for help too. A Foresters directory was published which should list Districts and courts.

There were other mutual societies with lodges such as Oddfellows, Rechabites, Free Gardeners etc so it might be worth trying to track them down too since they probably produced Rolls of Honour.
