Who Are We?
Caledonian Lodge 204, meeting in Manchester Halls, traces its roots back to 1802 when four industrious Scots established it after moving to the area for work. Named to honour their homeland, the Lodge embodies the spirit of brotherhood, work ethic, and dedication to the common good. Over the years, the Lodge has fully embraced the warmth and friendship of the distinct Mancunian culture, blending well with the original Scottish ethos of friendly mutual support. This very unique mix has created a Lodge that is renowned for both its welcoming atmosphere and its enduring values of fraternity and service.
