Sorry, I don't know where else to post this. Is the consensus on this forum that she was accidentally killed by the parents who quickly covered it up and then let the British media do the rest

NO. IT ISN'T

Hi Lyall, I would say welcome but I've got a feeling you wont be here long.

Are you really interested in what happened to Madeline or is your post a casual enquiry?
You clearly have no idea what this forum is about.

Had G still been living in Glasgow, I would tend to think that he wouldn't be a Freemason (think local culture and all that ... !). He would perhaps have been more interested in joining the Catenians (is Uncle B.K. not one?) or the Knights of St. Columba, i.e. if he hadn't been too busy with studying/working/going down south to see K or too young to even consider that sort of scene.

However, G is in England and G is very ambitious!

Freemasonry doesn't prohibit Catholics from joining the fraternity, but the R.C.Church considers membership to be incompatible with the R.C. faith. Freemasons accept the existence of a Supreme Being, and religion is not a criterion for admittance.

Think about the bloodcurdling roars and G prostrating himself on the ground on the night of 3rd May
I wondered why he should prostate himself before the Portuguese police but maybe this could be a clue, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry_in_Portugal
My mother's family were Glaswegian. The men were masons.

Sorry for the tardy reply. I wasn't implying that Freemasonry doesn't exist in Glasgow or, for that matter, in Scotland - far from it. I was trying to be subtle about the sectarian divide that still lingers in the West of Scotland/Central belt and, of course, N. Ireland.

Have you heard the question 'Whit fit dae ye kick wi'?'

See Tom Minogue.com for a good explanation, albeit with reference to Fife in the East coast!

IMO both sets of what ever fit you kick with, each have their own clubs that have infiltrated all walks of life, to look after their own, to the detriment of others!

Yes! Let's face it, some people will run with the hare and hunt with the hounds to get on in life.

I’d agree that in Scotland it very possibly rife,
In the last decade alone there has been reports in newspapers of alleged cronysm involving a certain former Lord Provost in Glesga toon, bearing strong Donegal links,

I'm not sure where to put this, has anyone on the forum whose been to Praia da Luz ever been up the Luz Bay view point?

by pinkgladioli 14.09.24 18:52

I’ve only been for a few hours, took two buses to get there from Alvor, I’ve holidayed in quite a few different areas in the Algarve as it’s my favourite holiday destination, Alvor attracts a lot of Irish nationality
PDL was gorgeous and do plan to go back sometime when there we walked along the beach,had a little walk around seen apartment 5A walked from there to Baptista sat outside and had a milkshake, the church is close to the bus stop, which is close to the beach

Ok, thanks for that pinkgladioli, it was just a thought I had after looking at google maps.

I wish I’d been able to stay for longer to check it out better

by crusader 14.09.24 20:08

I would love to go back to Portugal and especially Praia da Luz, we stayed in Albufeira.

by pinkgladioli 14.09.24 22:08

I used to walk into Albuferia from Praia da Oura, the last time I was in the Algarve was Tavira loved it! Loved Cabanas and taking the wee taxi boats out to the beach
