Freemasonry in Argyll, Bute and Arran, Scotland
Cams completed his PGL Visiting Passport at Lodge Tir an Eorna on Tiree in June. This initiative is designed to encourage visiting in the province and is considered complete when a brother has visited all eighteen lodges. That might not seen a lot to some provinces on the mainland, but believe you me, it can be a challenge in Argyll, given the distances and water barriers!
PGM John Stewart awarded Cams with his certificate and lapel badge at a special meeting held at Lodge 774 in July 2025.
Bro Angus MacKinnon was installed as RWM of Lodge Tir an Eorna No 1774 on 14 June 2025 by Bros Alan Campbell and Peter Barr, both PMs of Lodge St Modan No 985.
Brother John Stewart, Provincial Grand Master, was awarded honorary membership of Lodge St Molios No 774 at the annual visitation on Saturday, 12 April 2025.
On 2 November 2024, Brother Charles Nicolson was installed as RWM of Lodge Tarbert, Tarbert Loch Fyne No 1306 by Graeme and Jim McMillan, both Past Masters of Lodge Inveraray St John No 50. This was Graeme and Jim’s second installation ceremony as installing masters in two days, with a cheeky Provincial Royal Arch convocation thrown into the mix in between. The installation ceremony was impeccable and it was a real treat to see a father and son working together as installing masters.
Congratulations to you both for such fine work. Thank you to all at 1306 for the warm welcome and splendid hospitality.
