A bit of history on Rosslyn Chapel

Scottish Freemasonry
Rosslyn Chapel was begun in 1440. In 1483 the burgh of Aberdeen is recorded as having been involved in the resolution of a dispute between six “masons of the lodge,” not “stonemasons,” not “craftsmen,” but “masons of the lodge.” As Freemasonry began to spread, new lodges were established throughout Scotland, candidates were initiated, and given “The Mason Word.” The earliest surviving Lodge Minutes from Edinburgh date from 1599.
James the VI (1566-1625) of Scotland was made a Mason at the Lodge of Scoon and Perth in 1601. In 1602 the Lodges of Scotland affirmed William St. Clair of Rosslyn as the Hereditary Grand Master Mason of Scotland from Time Immemorial. It was not until 1603, when James VI of Scotland, became James I of Great Britain, that he took Freemasonry to England. In 1641, nearly forty years later, Sir Robert Moray (1608-1673) is recorded to have been the first man to have been made a Mason on English soil.

Hello Brethren

We have made the difficult decision to postpone tonight’s AGM due to this poor weather & this will be rescheduled for another date as soon as possible.

But myself and a few other brethren who stay close to the lodge are going to still head down for a wee social night & a laugh 🍻
The last thing we want is a good buffet going to waste.

Any brother who would like to come is more than welcome 🤝🍻

A pleasure to be part of the Doors Open Day

Grand Lodge held its Doors Open event on Sunday, 24th September 2023 and were very pleased to welcome over 800 people through the doors.

A team of Stewards, Tour Guides and Staff were joined by members of the Glasgow Young Masons and Young Lothian Masons. The ‘home team’ were kept busy showing folks around Freemasons’ Hall and answering many, many questions about freemasonry – we were joined by Prostate Scotland and even had the organ playing.

The team felt the event was a great success and a significant step towards dispelling the myths about the closed doors of Grand Lodge, and what goes on behind them!
