The Grand Lodge of Scotland recently hosted the first-ever Arcana Veritas Distinction Awards, an award dedicated to recognising outstanding contributions to Masonic literature. Held at Freemasons' Hall, the event honoured writers whose work deepens the understanding and appreciation of Masonic history, philosophy, and symbolism.

The award ceremony was led by Peter Taylor, Chair of the Information and Communication Committee, who announced the following as winners:

• Masonic History: Dr. David Harrison for his book The Life and Death of John Yarker

• Masonic Philosophy and Symbolism: Anthony Richard Baker for his work Freemasonry: Material, Moral and Mystical

• Masonic White Paper: Stewart Clelland for his piece "Ozymandias! The Rite of Misraim in Scotland"

Grand Secretary William Semple commended the awardees for their skill and insight in exploring a wide range of Masonic subjects. He emphasised the importance of their work in enriching the Masonic community and promoting a deeper understanding of its principles and traditions.

A full recording of the Arcana Veritas Distinction Awards ceremony will be available soon from the GLOS.

Lewis Masonic would like to congratulate the winning authors and thank the Grand Lodge of Scotland for this initiative.
