  Lodge Whifflet St John - No. 963
In the year 1903 a number of Masonic Brethren resident mainly in the village of Whifflet decided that it was necessary to have a Masonic Lodge within the area and for this purpose a meeting was called on the 29th October of that year.
On the 4th of February, 1904 a Charter was granted to Lodge “Whifflet St. John” and she was registered under the number of 963 on the Roll of the Grand Lodge of Scotland.
May Lodge Whifflet St. John go from strength to strength and be ever able to continue to practice the truest tenets of Freemasonry.

Whifflet yard and Coatbridge Central became my favoured spotting locations and I started to take an interest in the local history after walking some of the disused branch lines and becoming intrigued by where they went to and why.
It would appear that the dates in "Scottish Branch Lines" are based on the dates when regular freight traffic was withdrawn over a particular route and not when the line was officially designated as closed.
A good example of this is the closure date of the line between Whifflet East Junction and Bothwell.
