Video Presentation: The Reverend Dr John Theophilus Desaguilers’ Visit to Edinburgh – Bro Trevor Stewart

This paper sets out in detail, using the Minute Books of the Lodge of Edinburgh (Mary’s Chapel) No 1, the actual evidence of what happened when he – A Past Grand Master of England – visited the Lodge of Edinburgh in the Summer of 1721. It has been rumoured over time that he introduced the Third Degree to Scotland then. This is discussed with information granted to the author through access to manuscript books, a privilege rarely granted to anyone.
