The Cordiner's Box, incidentally, was made for us a few years ago by the remarkable people at @GalGael Galgael Trust to replace the previous Box which dated from the time of Queen Anne and had disappeared at some point over the years. The wood was sourced from Holyrood Park.

It is a tradition that the Deacon place in the Incorporation's Box some souvenirs of major or personal events from his/her year in Office. Deacon McClements chose to honour the inspirational Rob Burrows CBE by including a newspaper with an obituary of the great man.
