Grand Hall looking east. The present Freemasons' Hall was built during 1911 - 1912. It replaced an earlier building that had been on the site since 1858. The previous building was designed by the famous Scottish architect, David Bryce (who was a Freemason), but by the end of the century the building had become too small for the needs of Grand Lodge and it was decided to build a new larger home - the present building.
The Grand Hall is the main meeting place of Grand Lodge. Regular Communications are held in February, June and October (see the Kalander for exact details). The annual installation takes place on the Thursday before St Andrew's Day when that is not a Thursday.
