| | Forbes Lodge No.67 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) |
 | | This is in agreement with the tradition that there was a Lodge of Freemasons in Rosehearty prior to 1745, presided over by Alexander Forbes, Lord Pitsligo, who went out' with Bonnie Prince Charlie, and lost all in the cause of him he believed to be his rightful King. |
 | | There is a legend to the effect that some Rosehearty members who had gone either to Macduff or Banif to be posted up in these Degrees, sat down by the roadside on their way home, and commenced to rehearse their lesson. |
 | | In that year, in exchange for acknowledging its authority, the Supreme Body not only granted diplomas to the existing members of Rosehearty Chapter for little more than a nominal sum, but bestowed, in addition, other privileges which were to hold good for a specIfied number of years. |
