The Ashlar Magazine

Scotland’s only National Masonic News-sheet

Since The Ashlar was first published in February 1997 it has attracted a devoted following of several thousands. For a country as small as Scotland it is no mean achievement that it has even survived let alone held its’ own.

Published in January, March and September to suit the Scottish Masonic Kalendar it delivers information, articles, letters and reports on numerous matters appertaining to the ‘doings’ of Scottish Freemasonry.

The first issue sold out very quickly and has not been reprinted. It is now a collector’s item (I have been offered £50 for my copy! – Ed.) and is an indication of how much it is sought after to ‘complete the set’ of many later subscribers.

As an indication of the kind of subjects covered by the magazine we list the articles etc., below, from issue 1. The September Edition is due to be published very shortly and it will be reviewed here as soon as possible thereafter.
