Anyone wondering what the building is with the strange symbols at the muirs in Kinross.

It’s a Masonic lodge called Lodge St serf number 327🤔

Our oldest recorded minute book of Lodge St Serf No 327 is from the meeting held in the Upper Town Hall, High street, Kinross; held on Tuesday 2nd February 1926
At a special meeting held on Tuesday 1st June 1926, plans for the proposed new hall were exhibited on the table and inspected by the Members.

The oldest Masonic minutes in the world, which dates to January 1599, is from Lodge Aitchison’s Haven in East Lothian, Scotland,

BUT WHAT IS FREEMASONRY

For Freemasons, there are four important values that help define their path through life: Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Charity. In today’s world filled with uncertainty, these principles ring as true now as they have at any point in the organisation’s history.

INTEGRITY

BUILDING GOOD PEOPLE

Freemasons are focused on building themselves as people of integrity, and membership provides the structure to help achieve that goal. Being a Freemason gives members a sense of purpose, supporting and guiding them on their journey through life. Collectively, members are bonded through an understanding of unity and equitability – principles fundamental to Freemasonry.

FRIENDSHIP

BUILDING TOGETHER

Freemasonry provides the common foundation for friendships between members, many of which will last for life. Being a Freemason means something different to each person who joins, but whether looking to make acquaintances or develop their own potential, all members share a sense of togetherness that strengthens their ability to succeed and grow.

RESPECT

BUILDING UNITY

Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion, or other perceived differences that can divide us as a society. Members are expected to be of high moral standing and are encouraged to talk openly about what the organisation does and what it means to be part of it.

CHARITY

BUILDING COMPASSION

Kindness and charitable giving are deeply ingrained within the principles of Freemasonry and the organisation provides the structure for members to make positive contributions to their communities and various causes through fundraising events or volunteer work. Individuals can make an important contribution at local, national and global level by giving both their time and money. The grand lodge of Scotland last year had all lodges working together to raise over £1 million for Prostate Scotland.

We are also working on new charity initiatives here in Kinross our last Christmas hamper raised over £300 which went to a local charity.

If any of this post sparks an interest to know more about our lodge history or you have any questions about freemasonry, please feel free to send us a message.

This evening Lodge St Serf celebrated one of their elder statesmen.

When they invited IPM Bro James Marshall to lead an invited team of brethren to confer a 1st degree on Bro Ross Martin, Master of Lodge Balgonie.

After the degree work Bro. Marshall was placed in the centre of the carpet and SPGM Bro Ian Cockburn and the Master of the Lodge presented Jim with his Diamond Jubilee certificate for 60 years faithful service, that included 5 seperate periods as Master with a combined tenure of 8 years.

Tonight we also had the Christmas hamper draw which raised a fantastic amount of £400 , which will be going to a local charity.

Scottish freemasonry doing what it does best 👏🏻👏🏻
£1 million raised in aid of prostate Scotland.

Scottish freemasons will make history by presenting a cheque for more than £1 million to Prostate Scotland.
It is the first time the Grand Lodge of Scotland, whose members are spread across the globe, has raised such a vast sum to be given to a single recipient.
The achievement comes after a fundraising appeal lasting an incredible 10 years, recently named the Make It a Million campaign.
The announcement was made this afternoon by the Grand Master Mason, Brother William Ramsay McGhee, at the Regular Communication in Freemasons Hall, Edinburgh.
He said: “The main thrust of my report this afternoon is to inform you, officially, that you have made it a million. What an amazing achievement Brethren.
“Your creativity, ingenuity, effort,determination, and fortitude has made history.
“For the first time you, the members of Grand Lodge, will hand over £1.1 million to a single organisation.
“The final cheque will be presented to Prostate Scotland at the Festival of St Andrew.
“Can I take this opportunity to record my personal sincere thanks for all you have done.
“I know that our Immediate Past Grand Master, Brother Charles Iain Robert Wolrige Gordon who instigated the original initiative, Brother Joe Morrow, Chairman of the Benevolence and Care Committee and Brother Marcus Humphrey, past chairman of the Committee, would all wish me to say that collectively we are truly appreciative and grateful to you all.
“I would also like to say a special thank you to Mrs Dawn Oliff and her staff who have carried out an immense amount of administrative work in respect of the project.”
The Grand Lodge of Scotland embarked on the appeal to help increase awareness of prostate disease, its symptoms and the treatments available.
The money was raised thanks to a collective effort by thousands of freemasons who devised a huge range of fund-raising initiatives.
The most recent was a zip slide which contributed nearly £50,000 to the appeal.
Prostate Scotland have publicly acknowledged that the support of Scottish Freemasons, both in financial terms and by providing a platform for the distribution of information, has had a hugely positive impact on developing their work.
