Welcome to the Official Internet Site of

Lodge Edinburgh Castle No.1764

Right Worshipful Master's Welcome

It has often been said that visiting is the lifeblood of Freemasonry, and I’m certainly enjoying visiting as the new Right Worshipful Master of the Lodge.  Many of us however would have never envisaged that it is now possible to visit without leaving the comfort of your own home.  Thus, to all brethren from outside Edinburgh, indeed from outside the U.K., I would like to extend warm fraternal greetings to all who are visiting the web page of this, my Mother Lodge, Lodge Edinburgh Castle No.1764.

It has been along time setting up this website, however, after several unsuccessful attempts at last we have it up and running and I have to say that Bro. Bruce C. Coates P.M. and Bro. Brian M. McNeill P.M. (1345) have made it look all so easy.  On behalf of the brethren of Lodge Edinburgh Castle No.1764 our gratitude goes to these two named for all the hard work that has been put into setting it all up. 

Lodge Edinburgh Castle is relatively young Lodge, being formed in 1986, and it is the energy and commitment of our founder members and indeed, our more experienced brethren who are still active in Lodge, that drives us forward into a new generation. This new generation is one of a global community of Freemasons to whom the internet gives us the opportunity to extend the warm hand of fellowship. 

It is hoped this site will serve as a small sample of Lodge and its activities and that when we have the opportunity to meet and greet you as visitors – and this is an earnest wish – you will already feel familiar with Edinburgh Castle before you even arrive at Hill Street.

For brethren reading this who have already visited and supported the Lodge, then our best wishes go out to you and we look forward to renewing “auld acquaintance” – haste ye back!

Brother Brian Wales Worshipful Master
