The Supreme Council for Scotland of the A&ASR
Sovereign Grand Commander's Welcome
It is my pleasure to offer a warm welcome to the website for the Supreme Council
for
Scotland of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.
It is right and proper that an organisation which has existed for over one hundred and
fifty years should, indeed must,
continue to develop and reinvigorate itself. this website indicates that we continue to do so.
This site should be used as a facility for our members, offering the required information to allow them to enjoy their membership to the fullest possible advantage whilst also informing the casual browser, possibly who are either non-members of the Order or even non-Freemasons alike an indication of our outlook and activities.
Whatever reason you have either chosen to peruse our website or simply found us by chance
I trust you will find it of interest.
