A message from the Master
I
would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to this website and
offer you warm fraternal greetings from myself, the Past Masters and
Office Bearers of the Lodge.
I Hope that you find the site informative and gives you a valuable insight into the workings and history of this Antient Lodge. The Lodge has a long distinguished history and is reputed to be one, if not the oldest Masonic Lodge in the world. It has historical connections to Melrose Abbey dating from its building in 1136 and this is reflected in our Annual Mason's Walk and pilgrimage to the Abbey on the date of Installation on 27th December each year. Being the newly Installed RWM of the Lodge I can assure any Brother who wishes to visit the Lodge a very warm welcome. Thank you for visiting the website and please visit again soon. Bro. Kevin G. Storey. RWM.
