There are many divisions in Scotland, the largest being in Port Glasgow. Div210 is the mens division with over 140 members and Div 2309 is the ladies division with a membership of around 100

Joe,can you tell me how to contact the AOH in Scotland?I tried writing to them at the Port Glasgow address but with no success.I am in edinburgh.Thanks

The "Hibs" are still active in Port Glasgow Scotland. You should be able to contact someone by telephone. Friday and Saturday nights may be the best time. Keep trying.
If you continue to have no success please let me know. J. Lear

Managed to track down Division 327 in Coatbridge.Alive and kicking.
As far as I am aware the only Scottish Divisions now are Coatbridge,Carfin,Hamilton and Port Glasgow.

Hi Johnny,how nice to know that 327 is still alive & kicking.Do you have anymore info on them.Some 40 years ago I was a member of the A.O.H. in Coatbridge.My memory can't click on to it.There were two division that I know of at that time 327,which I think was in the Hibs hall in Coates St.,& 319 which held meetings in the Whiflett.Always remember all the nice people that I met way back then,names of some I remember.went to Ireland for marches on 15th August sometimes with The Coatbridge Shamrock Accordion Band.Hope to hear from you by return Johnny.

Hello , I will begin by saying that my loyalties are Irish to the core! Now comes the difficult part. Division 327 appealed to me !So I joined. There were many wonderful people in the division and I really enjoyed thier company but it was not very long before it became obvious that the heirarchy were only there to further thier own ends with the notable exception of Jimmy Chambers who had the good sense to leave as I did. He is a great man and if you can find one single person who disagrees with this then I would be astounded. The People who ruined the great division 327 should be ashamed of themselves ( they know who they are ) Erin Go Bragh !
