Freemasonry began in Scotland and is the oldest secular fraternal society in the world.  Freemasons Hall, built in 1913, is the head office of the Grand Lodge of Scotland.  The four storey elegant building has marble floors, stained glass windows and a beautiful glass domed roof.  It also houses a museum containing the oldest Masonic Records in the world (Aitcheson's Haven from 1599), the 'Burns Inauguration' painting (Robert Burns was a Freemason) and various Masonic artifacts.

Freemasons' Hall is open to the public (no passwords or secret handshakes required) Monday to Friday 9.00 am - 4.30 pm and tours are conducted 10.00 am and 2.00 pm.  At certain times,  tours of the building may be unavailable or limited to the Museum only so be sure to check the 'Kalendar' on their website.
