	Kilwinning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The choice of Kilwinning is not unexpected, the monks were of the Tyrinensian Order of The Benedictines, as were those of Arbroath so he would have visited here from time to time.
		Kilwinning is notable for housing the original Lodge of the Freemasons.
		When the foundation stone of the new Eglinton Castle in Kilwinning was laid in 1797, ‘Soldier Hugh’, the 12th Earl of Eglinton, was proud to have the ceremony performed by Alexander Hamilton of Grange, grandfather of the American Hero Alexander Hamilton who was to become one of the most influential Scots in American history.

	Kilwinning
		The masonic lodge of Kilwinning, which is the first or mother lodge of Scotland, is said to have been founded by the architect and masons who came from the Continent to build the Abbey.
		Kilwinning is famous, likewise, for the perpetuation of ancient Scottish archery, and the fascinating ceremonial connected with the shootings at the papingo is a little bit of elegant antiquity well worthy of preservation.
		Kilwinning is probably the oldest continuous congregation now in the Free Church, having been formed in 1738 by those who adhered to the Erskinite Secession of 1733.

	Mother Kilwinning No 0
		Mother Kilwinning began to receive letters from her Daughter Lodges protesting at this state of affairs, but there was nothing she could do in the matter beyond advising a dignified silence and instructing her Lodges to "keep themselves to themselves".
		The first move in re-uniting Mother Kilwinning to Grand Lodge came from the latter body who wrote that "the cause of the separation seemed to be forgotten", and suggested that Mother Kilwinning and her Daughter Lodges might come to Grand Lodge on terms to be agreed.
		With the return of Mother Kilwinning to Grand Lodge it was necessary to re-arrange the Roll of Lodges and Mother Kilwinning was placed at the head, her subordinate Lodges occupying positions in accordance with the dates of their Kilwinning Charters.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Benedictine Abbey of Kilwinning
		What is certain is that there was a Christian church at Kilwinning, and also a monastery of Culdees, several centuries before the foundation of the Benedictine house by Hugh de Morville, Constable of Scotland, and a great territorial magnate of the district, somewhere between 1140 and 1162.
		Timothy Pont, who had seen the cartulary of the abbey, now lost, and who wrote in 1608, gives 1171 as the date, and Richard de Morville (one of the murderers of St. Thomas of Canterbury) as the founder; but the weight of evidence is in favour of Hugh and the earlier date.
		A community of Tyronensian Benedictines was brought from Kelso; the abbey was soon richly endowed by royal and noble benefactors, possessing granges, large estates, and the tithes of twenty parish churches, and a revenue equivalent to some 20,000 pounds sterling a year.

	History of Freemasonry - [ also called Masonry ] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The history of Kilwinning is a extraordinary one, and after you have finished reading, you can see easily, that Mother Kilwinning was the first Grand Lodge on earth, even when we go by the definitions of a Grand Lodge, as given by the UGLE.
		And so, the ancient and worthy Lodge Mother Kilwinning is established in the Chapterhouse, where, according to the stories, the first Masonic meeting was held, and the recruits from the population of Kilwinning were initiated in the vital secrets of the Ancient Free and Accepted Scottish Rite.
		Mother Kilwinning was represented by proxy, and from her midst the first officers of the Grand Lodge were chosen, and she stayed there for several years, until the brothers wanted to number the Lodges, according to their infinity.

		Kilwinning Scots Arms, as the only other accepted lodge in Edinburgh, would have been the logical choice of a lodge for Canongate Kilwinning to approach with this idea.
		Whatever the case, it appears likely that Canongate Kilwinning wanted to test the reactions of Kilwinning Scots Arms and the Lodge of Edinburgh to see if they would be amenable to the idea of the creation of a Grand Lodge and the selection of a Grand Master.
		The second event indicating Canongate Kilwinning's plan for the eventual formation of a Grand Lodge was the admission of William St Clair of Roslin to Canongate Kilwinning on May 18, 1736.
