The Grand Lodge of Scotland / Poppyscotland 2018

The Grand Lodge of Scotland and Poppyscotland entered into a joint venture to commemorate the end of the Great War in 1918. This takes the form of visiting every Province the length and breadth of the country where Provinces and Lodges lay wreaths at local War Memorials. The Widows Sons Scotland agreed to facilitate this by riding to each location on their motorcycles and provide a visible link.

The event commenced on Saturday 4 August 2018 at the City Chambers in Edinburgh prior to visiting Prestonpans and Haddington.

On Sunday 5 August Dryburgh Abbey, Carluke and the Korean War Memorial near Linlithgow was visited.

Below provides a brief outline of what took place. No doubt others may have other photographs of these locations.

WHAT IS FREEMASONRY?Brotherhood

Freemasonry (or Masonry) is the oldest fraternal organization in the world. Though its origins can be traced to the stonemasons and cathedral builders of Medieval times, Freemasonry remains a vital force in the daily lives of millions of men across the globe. Through a series of degrees and ceremonies, the values of Freemasonry are passed from generation to generation, Mason to Mason, in a timeless and tireless effort to make good men better. These degrees provide a framework that affects every aspect of modern life and are based on the values of brotherly love, relief, and truth. Every year in virtually every city and town across America, thousands of men join the ranks of Freemasonry. Men of honor and integrity. Of charity and obligation.
