The Brass Candlesticks, were presented to the Lodge on the 27th December 1867 by Bro. William Forrest (RWM 1869-71). They were used until the Temple was modernised and electric light installed, an examination of the bases however, will show that they may have been used after that time as they had been drilled for electric cable.

Bro. Forrest was a man of many talents after his 2 years in the Chair, he served the Lodge for a number of years as Chaplain, he was also Provincial Grand Bible Bearer. Outside Freemasonry he was in the service of the Belhaven Family for 45 years, and was Usher to the Lord High Commissioner of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland on 36 occasions. He is interred in Cam'nethan Old Graveyard and his tombstone records that he died at the Manse, Wishaw, in August 1881 aged 80 years.
