Grand Lodge of Scotland Installation Ceremony

The Installation Ceremony of the Grand Lodge of Scotland took place on Thursday 26th November 2015 within Freemasons Hall 96 George Street Edinburgh. The Grand Master Mason Bro. Charles Iain Robert Wolrige Gordon of Esslemont was installed into office by Right Worshipful Installing Grand Master Bro. Sir Archiblad D Orr Ewing Bart Past Grand Master Mason.

He then named as his Depute Grand Master Bro. W Ramsay McGhee and Substitute Grand Master Bro. George R Kelly who were both installed into office by Right Worshipful Installing Grand Master Bro. Sir Archiblad D Orr Ewing Bart Past Grand Master Mason.

The Grand Lodge office bearers were then installed into their various offices by Bro. W Ramsay McGhee Right Worshipful Depute Grand Master and Bro. George R Kelly Right Worshipful Substitute Grand Master. This was a historical event as this was the first time that both the Grand Wardens came from the same province. Bro. Hugh Clelland Past Master of the Lodge of Kirkcaldie No.72, Past Depute Provincial Grand Master of the Province of Fife and Kinross was installed into the office of Right Worshipful Senior Grand Warden and Bro. Rev Andrew E Paterson JP Past Master of Lodge Oak No.877 and Provincial Grand Master of the Province of Fife and Kinross was installed into the office of Right Worshipful Junior Grand Warden.

A number of Brethren from the province of Fife and Kinross travelled through to Edinburgh to attend the Grand Lodge Installation Ceremony and Festival of St. Andrew which was held in Edinburgh Corn Exchange.

During the celebrations at the Corn Exchange the Grand Master Mason presented a cheque to Prostate Scotland for the sum of £10,000.00 which was very gratefully received by Mr. Adam Gaines of the Charity Prostate Scotland.
