Welcome

Welcome to the home page of Lodge Dumfries Kilwinning No. 53 on the roll of The Grand Lodge Of Scotland.  Dating prior to 1575, we are proud to be the oldest masonic lodge in the province of Dumfriesshire, South-West Scotland.

The town of Dumfries, known to many as "The Queen Of The South", is a lively, modern rural town with many things to see and do.  The town has many places of interest, particularly due to its links to two of Scotland's most famous historical characters  - Robert The Bruce and Robert Burns (Burns' son  - also called Robert  -  was a Past Master of the Lodge).

Welcome to the official Lodge Dumfries Kilwinning No.53 website.  

The aim of this website is to promote freemasonry in general and Lodge 53 in particular.  It is hoped it will keep members and friends up to date with happenings at "Ye Olde Lodge", in addition to providing interesting reading for historians and the general public alike.  I hope you enjoy your visit and that you return again very soon.

Michael Illingworth RWM

We meet on the first and third Thursday of every month, from September to May, in the Assembly Rooms, George Street, Dumfries.
