At present we do not know a lot about Brother Dr. David Main Baillie.

Temple Lodge records show that Dr. David Main Baillie, age 27, occupation: Physician, residing at Duncan, made a Petition for Affiliation which was received at the Regular Lodge meeting of 12 May 1914 and the following Investigating Committee appointed: Wor. Brothers Thomas Pitt, Christopher Dobson and James McLeod Campbell. Brother Baillie also stated that he was made a Mason in St. Ninian Lodge, No 575, Nairn, Scotland.

He was duly elected a member of Temple Lodge, No. 33 by affiliation. His name also appears in our Honour Roll of Lodge members who served in the Canadian Forces during World War 1. His name disappears from our Lodge records in 1922-23.

Here is the information we have uncovered so far about Brother Dr. David Main Baillie. We will post more information on Brother Baillie as we discover it.
