WelcomeTo our website

It is my pleasure to offer you a warm welcome to the web site of Lodge Kirknewton & Ratho No. 85 on the roll of the Grand Lodge of Scotland, I hope that you enjoy your visit and find the information informative and interesting.

Lodge Kirknewton & Ratho has now existed for over two hundred and fifty years and the members and visitors have completed an excellent year of celebration in 2011, culminating with the rededication ceremony, so ably carried out by Bro Thomas F Jessop, Substitute Grand Master and Grand Lodge Office Bearers on Sat 20th August 2011.

2011 was nothing short of a major milestone in the Lodge history, with our 250th anniversary and also for our Past Master, Brother Robert William Scott being commissioned by Grand Lodge as the Provincial Grand Master of Linlithgowshire. Robert is the first member of Lodge Kirknewton & Ratho to serve as PGM and we are extremely proud and wish him well in this high honour.

It was my honour and privilege to serve as the Master again during this historic time and Kirknewton & Ratho is indebted to all the hard work and support that we received from members and our many visitors from all over the world during our celebrations. As we embark upon 2012, it is again my privilege to serve as Master, I would like to thank the Past Masters, Office Bearers and Brethren of 85 for your continued support and I hope that we all have another splendid year.

I would like to extend an invite to any Free and Accepted Mason to visit Kirknewton & Ratho on any 2nd or 4th Friday at 7:30 pm between September and April and allow us to extend to you a warm and personal welcome. If you require any further information about Lodge Kirknewton & Ratho No. 85 or have any questions regarding our web site, please contact us using the e-mail addresses on the contact page.

Best wishes for a prosperous 2012.

Robert J Potter, Master.
