Schaw Statutes 1598 - 1599 |
|
|
|
|
William Schaw the "
Maister o' Work and "Warden o'er a' the masons
" wrote that Kilwinning was the "Heid ( Head )
Ludge o' Scotland. Had these statutes been
available in 1743 there would have been no doubt about Kilwinning's position in Freemasonry.
This agreement lasted for 176 years until amended
1983, where once again Masonic change was required of
Mother Kilwinning. The Master of Kilwinning no longer becomes
Provincial Grand Master of Ayrshire , instead:- |
|
|
|
|
1. Mother Kilwinning has the right for
all time being to nominate a Brother to become Grand Lodge Bible Bearer.
2.
There was erected and consecrated the
Provincial Grand Lodge of Kilwinning with Mother
Kilwinning having the sole right to nominate the
Provincial Grand Master in the Province of Kilwinning. These changes further ensure Mother Kilwinning's still
present singular position and autonomy in the Masonic
world. |
