Lodge Kelso & Tweed was formed in 2011 through the amalgamation of two historic Kelso Lodges: Kelso Lodge No. 58, founded in 1701, and Tweed Lodge of Kelso No. 261, founded in 1816.
With a history stretching back more than 300 years, Lodge Kelso & Tweed is one of the oldest Masonic Lodges in Scotland and the Scottish Borders.
Our members come from all walks of life. While many live in Kelso and the surrounding area, our membership also extends across the Scottish Borders, into England and even overseas. Freemasonry is open to men from all backgrounds who meet the requirements for membership.
The Lodge meets at 7:30pm on the third Wednesday of the month, from September to April, with the exceptions of November and January.
The November meeting starts at 7:00pm to accommodate the Lodge’s Annual Provincial Visitation.
Our Annual Installation Meeting is held on the Saturday afternoon following the second Wednesday in January, starting at 3:00pm.
It’s aye been!
