Synopsis
The First Freemasons analyses the history of the world's earliest known masonic lodges from which modern freemasonry evolved. Their records (over a century older that those of English lodges)reveal how much Scottish masonry contributed to the freemasonry which was in the eighteenth century become fashionable in England and spread round the world. Though known to masonic historians in the past, the early Scottish lodges have been ignored by academic historians, and this is the first book to attempt a comprehensive survey of their activities. The Origins of Freemasonry, by the same author, provides a wider discussion of Scotland's role in early freemasonry.
