Royal Order of Scotland
The Royal Order of Scotland comprises two distinguished Degrees: the Heredom of Kilwinning and the Rosy Cross. The Heredom Degree, rooted in symbolism and teachings of St. John's Masonry, holds a special significance for Craft Masons. The Rosy Cross Degree, originating from the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, was established by King Robert the Bruce to honor knights who aided in Scotland's independence. Today, the Order, with its rich history dating back to at least 1741, remains one of the oldest and most esteemed Masonic Systems worldwide.
