Appendix 2:
Freemasons and Multiple Club Listings
All of the clubs are located in Edinburgh unless otherwise specified.
Occupational and personal data taken are taken from the Oxford Dictionary of National
Biography: From the Earliest Times to the Year 2000 (2004) and Peter Williamson’s
Williamson’s Directory, for the city of Edinburgh, Canongate, Leith, and suburbs, from
June 1775, to June 1776 (1775). Masonic Grand Officers are from the Grand Lodge of
Scotland unless otherwise noted.
Members of the various lodges are taken from Grand Lodge of Scotland’s
Chartulary and List of Lodges and Members: 1736-1799 (Edinburgh, 1736-1799) and
have been cross-referenced with Jennifer McLeod’s records in her article entitled
“Freemasonry and Music in Eighteenth-Century Edinburgh, from Freemasonry on Both
Sides of the Atlantic (2002).
