  • The Grand Lodge of Antient, Free and Accepted Masons of Scotland was founded in 1736 – although, in fact, only about a third of all lodges were represented at the foundation meeting of the Grand Lodge. Scottish Freemasonry has a distinct and unique character. The connection between the craft of stone masonry and modern Freemasonry can be readily established in Scotland. This direct connection can be traced from the oldest Masonic written records in the world and which are the property of the Grand Lodge. Lodges under the Scottish Constitution are thus sovereign bodies in their own right, with a considerable degree of control of their own affairs. Many Lodges pre-existed Grand Lodge, all jealously guarding their traditions, and were permitted to retain their own procedures, regalia, and distinctive rituals. Having established the principle of independence to the old Lodges, it was impossible to deny Lodges founded after 1736 the same level of privilege. Of course the rituals contain the principal points of each degree, but the scope for elaboration is considerable, with numerous interesting additions. Since Scottish Lodges have the right to choose the colours of the Lodge regalia, meetings are very colourful – especially if visitors from other Lodges are present. (en)

Elle est reconnue, dans les termes de la régularité maçonnique par la Grande Loge unie d'Angleterre . Cette Grande Loge écossaise a un caractère distinct et unique. Le lien entre le métier de la maçonnerie de la pierre et la franc-maçonnerie moderne peut être aisément établi en Écosse. Les loges ont su préserver leurs privilèges, usages et coutumes; elles ont chacune leurs propres décors et couleurs de tabliers. Elles fonctionnaient selon les Statuts Schaw rédigés par William Schaw.Il est dû à l'existence même de la plus ancienne loge connue encore en activité, la loge Kilwinning n°0 et du rituel pratiqué, le Rite standard d'Écosse toujours et uniquement pratiqué en Écosse.==Grandes Loges Provinciales en Écosse==Aberdeen City, Aberdeen East, Aberdeen West, Argyll, Ayrshire, Banffshire, Caithness, Dumfriesshire, Dunbartonshire, East Lothian & Berwickshire, Edinburgh, Fife & Kinross, Forfarshire, Galloway, Glasgow, Inverness-shire, Kilwinning, Kincardine-shire, Lanarkshire Middle Ward, Lanarkshire Upper Ward, Linlithgowshire, Midlothian, Moray & Nairn, Orkney & Zetland, Perthshire East, Perthshire West, Renfrewshire East, Renfrewshire West, Ross and Cromarty, Roxburgh - Peebles & Selkirk Shires, Stirlingshire, Sutherland.==Grandes Loges dans le monde== Afrique du Sud, Botswana, La Barbade, Ghana, Gibraltar, Guyana, Inde, Jamaïque, Kwazulu Natal, Moyen-Orient, Extrême-Orient, Namibie, Nouvelle-Zélande (Districts Nord et Sud), Terre-Neuve et Labrador, Nigéria, Sierra Leone et Gambie, Les Bahamas, Trinidad et Tobago, Australie Occidentale, Cap de Bonne Espérance, Zambie, Zimbabwe.
