In the traditions of the United Kingdom, The Order of the Thistle in Scotland is one of the three most exalted orders of chivalry: the other two orders are the Order of the Garter in England and the Order of St. Patrick in Ireland. Our modern interpretation of The Order presented locally is an evening of fun, fellowship, and frivolity among fellow Freemasons solely for charitable purposes. It is not a Lodge meeting, nor does it have anything to do with or any association with the awarding of the original official Order of the Thistle. The original order was founded by King James VII of Scotland, who was also King James II of England, in 1687.
Membership is open to any Master Mason in good standing. Its purpose is to have fun while supporting the Children’s Dyslexia Centers in Massachusetts and the Grand Almoner’s Fund, both sponsored by the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction.
