Abstract

Freemasonry has long been a controversial subject. This book sets out to place the early history of freemasonry on a sound footing by undertaking a comprehensive survey of the earliest of all masonic lodges, those of Scotland, in the first century of their existence. Most of these early Scottish lodges still exist today, and many of them have records dating from the seventeenth century—and indeed in two cases, from 1599. Yet no previous attempt has been made to use this evidence systematically in order to analyse the lodges, their activities, and their members.
