The Masonic Photographs

These 12 photographs are part of a larger series that explores the intertwined history of operative stonemasons and speculative Freemasons in Scotland. Through architectural images and archival documents, The Masonic Photographs follow this mysterious story from the calloused hands of ancient builders to the white gloves of modern Masons – an arcane legacy.
