About MeRose and Thistle was the first lodge of the British Order of Ancient Free Gardeners to be established in Aberdeen. This was in April of 1880 and was initially under the care of the Kirkaldy District Branch. By 1887 six lodges existed and in September of that year it was decided to form an Aberdeen District Branch. The BOAFG, like similar societies, was a friendly society which aimed to help members in times of sickness and need. The Free Gardeners adopted rituals and symbols which owed much to those of freemasons. The influence of the Order spread throughout the North East of Scotland with lodges being set up in places such as Boddam, Elgin, Ballater and Oldmeldrum. In the 20th century the gradual introduction of state pensions and benefits began to undermine the economic basis of the BOAFG and there was a long period of decline in membership. In 1987, in the Aberdeen Branch's centenary year, the order was dissolved.
