Lodge Rothesay St.John No.292

Generally regarded as one of the finest Masonic premises anywhere in Scotland, "292" as it is popularly known opened in late 1909, although the roots of Freemasonry in Rothesay can be dated back to 1792.

The major feature of the current building is the outstanding decoration, notably the murals on the North, South and West walls. The North and South walls depict various scenes from the Bible, while the West wall is entirely given over to a magnificent mural depicting the history of architecture from earliest man to the Egyptian, Greek and Roman eras.

The murals were completed in 1940 as part of a major refurbishment programme, and a further mural added to the south wall in 2000 to mark the Millennium. Two murals on the north wall had to be completely replaced in the early 1990s due to building issues, and the new murals are exact replicas of the originals, created by a Lodge member.
