The very best wishes from all at
Provincial Grand Lodge of Fife and Kinross, for the coming festive season.
On behalf of myself, Commissioned Office-bearers and everyone at Provincial Grand Lodge of Fife and Kinross, may I extend a Christmas message of good wishes, gratitude and prosperity to all the brethren, together with your families and friends, for the forthcoming festive season.
As we approach the close of 2026 and look forward with hope and optimism to the year ahead, may I take this opportunity to share what will be my final Christmas message during my present commission as Provincial Grand Master.
As Christmas approaches, I wish, on behalf of Provincial Grand Lodge, to extend my warmest and most sincere good wishes to all Brethren, their families and friends throughout every Lodge within the Province of Fife and Kinross.
May this special time of year bring peace, happiness and contentment to your homes, and provide an opportunity to enjoy some precious time spent with those whom you hold most dear. May the New Year bring renewed hope, good health, happiness and prosperity to you all.
The festive season also provides us with an opportunity to reflect on the journey we have shared and the considerable work undertaken throughout this commission. Together, we have continued to promote the principles of Freemasonry, friendship, charity, compassion and goodwill which lie at the very heart of our Craft. I sincerely hope that each of you will continue to work for these values within your Lodges and communities, demonstrating through our words and actions the positive contribution that Scottish Freemasonry makes to the lives of others.
As I reflect upon my time serving as your Provincial Grand Master, I feel an immense sense of pride, gratitude and privilege. It has been an honour to serve the Brethren of this Province. There have, naturally, been challenges along the way, as there are in any undertaking, but I can honestly say that the good times, the friendships forged, the achievements shared and the kindness shown have far outweighed any difficulties. I particularly thank the Commissioned Office-bearers for their contributions and support throughout my term.
For all the support, encouragement, and friendship that the Lodges and brethren have afforded me throughout my commission, I offer you my heartfelt and sincere thanks. Whatever has been achieved during my time in office has only been possible through the collective commitment, enthusiasm, support and goodwill of the brethren across our Province.
We should all rightly be proud of our Lodges and of the many brethren who work tirelessly, often quietly and without recognition, to sustain our traditions and make a difference within our communities. As we look forward to 2027, I hope that the spirit of unity and fellowship within our Province will continue to flourish. Provincial Grand Lodge remains committed to supporting, encouraging and assisting every Lodge and every brother wherever and whenever possible.
Let us all enter the New Year with confidence and renewed purpose, continuing to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood, uphold the principles and traditions of our ancient and honourable Craft, and demonstrate through our words and actions the very best of Freemasonry.
Finally, as this is my last Christmas message during my present commission, I would simply wish to say how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to serve you. Thank you for your friendship, your encouragement and, above all, for making my time as your Provincial Grand Master such a rewarding and memorable experience.
May I wish every brother, your families and all your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous New Year.
