The aims and relationships of the Craft are laid out in a Statement, approved by Grand Lodge on 4th August 1949, and is read aloud at the Annual Installation of Office Bearers Meeting of every Lodge holding of the Grand Lodge of Scotland.

Masons believe in the concepts of Brotherly Love, Relief, Truth, Faith, Hope, Charity, Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence and Justice and as a result, have no problem setting aside differences which divide in favor of similarities which unite.

Masonry has no pre-defined belief system:
one's beliefs and opinions are their own!
