Lodge Rothes 532
The first step was taken at a meeting of Brethern in the Parochial Office 11th December 1872. Sponsors of the petition were Lodge St John Falkland No 35 and St Cyres, Auchtermuchty No 121, but the Lodge did not get authority until February 1873 (532).
There was a 24 year break between 1884 until 1908, when the Lodge was re-opened.
On the 18th April 1908, the R.W.P.G.M explained that the meeting was consequent on a representation by old members of Lodge Rothes 532 to reopen their dormant lodge.
This authority had been granted by Grand Lodge. It was thereby resuscitated Bro Alexander Gray was installed as R.W.M and other Brethern to the respected offices.
In 1873 when the lodge was first formed and office-bearers installed, William Elder R.W.M the brethern were later marshalled in procession to Leslie House where they were permitted to go through the garden terraces.
Three cheers were given for the Dowager Countess of Rothes neice of the 15th Earl of Rothes Grand Master Mason of Scotland.
George William 15th Earl of Rothes was P.G.M 1838/41.
At Leslie, Complaints and Appeals Committee a brother made of alleged breaches of his lodge’s by-laws. He and principal office-bearers of his lodge were interviewed. The latter that at a recent lodge nomination of office-bearers certain brethren had been nominated for office without the consent of the nominees given in open lodge or in writing to the secretary.
