Brief History of Lodge Rosslyn St Clair The Lodge is situated in the small town of Roslin some 7.5 miles south from Edinburgh City centre and is so called, along with six other Lodges in Scotland, after William St. Clair of Roslin, the first Grand Master Mason of the Grand Lodge of Scotland. The Lodge was granted its charter on 7th May 1877 and held the first meeting in the original Inn, College Hill, adjacent to the world famous Rosslyn Chapel. The present Lodge rooms, having been the public hall, have been owned by the Lodge since 1920; the previous meeting places enjoyed by the Brethren have included, the Inn, Rosslyn Castle and Creelha' in Manse Road. Regular meetings are held at 7pm on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays each month from September to the 2nd Wednesday in December and January to April inclusive, also the 3rd Saturday in December at 5pm. All Brethren are most welcome to visit without making any prior arrangement or introduction. Various social evenings are supported by the Brethren and guests but everybody is welcome to join us. Also available are items of Lodge memorabilia such as Millennium Jewels, Mark tokens, ties, bone china mugs, cuff links, tie pins and lapel pins. Assistance is also available to Brethren wishing the visit Rosslyn Chapel. |
