Welcome to our website



   Elgin's Lodge at Leven No 91

Did you know ?
One of our more famous Past Masters was Field Marshal Earl Haig in 1925.

On 5th April 1768 the lodge agreed to impose a fine of 4 pence on any brother living within 2.5 miles of the lodge and did not attend meetings without a reasonable excuse and 6 pence for office bearers! 

Holding on the role of the Grand Lodge of Scotland

Charter Granted 8th Feb 1763
A Message From Our Right Worshipful Master

A very warm welcome to each and every one and I hope you find this web site informative and useful.

Our lodge was chartered on the 8th Feb 1763 and since then we have been in Fife and indeed in Leven, our current home since the laying of our cornerstone on the 8th October 1898.

For me, Freemasonry is a fantastic organisation and brotherhood and it is indeed an honour and privilege to serve as Master of this Lodge, during my tenure as Master, I can say that nothing shall be wanting on my part to extend the influence of the Lodge, the Brethren have placed in me the highest honour and it is my earnest desire to maintain the traditions of this fine old Lodge  and to walk worthily in the steps of our many fine and able past Maters who have proceeded me.

Feel free to e-mail me or any of my team by using the contact page link if you have any questions or comments, we will be happy to hear from you.

And finally, to my fellow brethren, please come along and see us soon, you will receive a very warm welcome indeed.


Fraternally yours,
Brother David McNeil
Right Worshipful Master

About Freemasonry

What is Freemasonry? 
"A system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated with symbols". "A system of making good men better, but Freemasonry cannot make bad men good". You could ask 100 different people what Freemasonry is and it is possible that you would get 100 different answers. Freemasonry is a world wide ancient fraternal society of good men from all walks of life who believe in friendship, honour, morality and sound ethics. Freemasonry and Masonic Lodges in Scotland are governed by The Grand Lodge of Scotland which is based in Edinburgh.

Is Freemasonry a Secret Society?
Freemasonry is often mistaken as "Secret Society". If it were then we wouldn't have published this site on the World Wide Web for all to see, neither would you be able to identify the Masonic Lodge in your town, many Lodges have plaques at the door. Members are free to acknowledge their Masonic membership to others and some Lodges even publish the dates of their meetings in local newspapers. Masonic processions are a common sight in many towns, these are hardly the actions of a Secret Society. The secrets of Freemasonry are connected with the traditional modes of recognition and like many other societies, clubs and organisations it regards many of it's internal affairs and actions to be of a private nature for its members. 

Is Freemasonry a Religion?
It is not a religion, although an essential requirement to become a member is the belief in a "Supreme Being". Membership is open to men of any religion or race and they are encouraged to follow their own faith and do their duty to their own "God". Religious discussions are not permitted at Lodge meetings.

Is Freemasonry a Political Party? 
Freemasonry is not a Political Party, it is true that leading Politicians are members of the fraternity, however, discussions of a Political nature are forbidden at Lodge meetings, Freemasonry is neither a Subversive Organisation or an Action Group, members must be peaceful, law abiding members of the community who are of good repute.

Is Freemasonry a Charity?
It is not a charity either, although members contribute considerably to a number of worthwhile charitable organisations and causes.

What Principles do Freemasons believe in? 
Freemasons believe in three grand principles, these are:
1.Brotherly Love: is the concern which each Freemason has for his Brother, which is readily shown by tolerance and respect for the beliefs, opinions and practices of his fellows and his willingness to care for his Brother and that Brother's dependents.
2.Relief: The Freemason is by nature and teachings a charitable man. He will cheerfully and kindly assist those less fortunate (whether Freemasons or not). He will care for and support his community - Local, National and International.
3.Truth: The Freemason believes in Truth in all things, in honesty and integrity in his personal, business and public life, in fair dealings and in firm standards of decency and morality.

Who are Freemasons?
Freemasons include members of the Royal Family, Business Leaders, Political Leaders, Government Agents, Writers, Entertainers, Actors, Artists, Sportsmen, Inventors, Designers, Pioneers, Founders, Patriots, Presidents, members of the Police Force, Judges, Justices, members of HM Forces, the ordinary man on the street and may be even your next door neighbor. You will most probably know of someone who is a Mason.

Who can become members?
Men of the mature age of 21 (or 18 if his father was a Mason) who believe in a "Supreme Being" (A God) who are of sound character and judgment and are law abiding members of the community, free of any convictions and have never plead guilty to a crime, may apply to be considered to become a Mason.  

I think I qualify, how do I become a member? 
You may have heard or seen the phrase "2B1ASK1"(to be one, ask one) meaning to be a Freemason, ask a Freemason. That would be your best first step to becoming a member, they will be more than pleased to tell you what they can about Freemasonry. If you don't know a Freemason you could find out who is the secretary of your local Lodge and give him a call or send a letter expressing your interest.
If you have a specific interest in joining Elgins Lodge at leven No. 91 discuss your interest with one of the Brethren, or contct our Secretary for further information.

What does it cost to become a member? 
There is a joining fee followed by annual dues to support your Masonic Lodge which you should be able to pay without the detriment to you or your dependents.

How can I learn more?
If you want to learn more ask a Freemason for information or have a look at the the Web Site that The Grand Lodge of Scotland has published.
