Lodge St. Olaf 1188

The Ancient, Free, and Accepted Lodge of Scottish Freemasons has been meeting in Cruden Bay since 1919. Since its founding, the Lodge has served as a popular hub of friendship for hundreds of local men.

Freemason Lodges typically meet regularly, usually between October and May. Lodge St. Olaf convenes fortnightly from the first Thursday in October through to the end of March. For specific meeting dates, please refer to the details provided below.

The Cruden Bay Lodge, like all Masonic lodges, is deeply committed to benevolent and charitable efforts. It continually raises funds to provide support and assistance where needed. Despite being a small village lodge, Lodge St. Olaf has donated tens of thousands of pounds to local causes since its establishment in 1919. It remains steadfast in upholding these same principles today.
