Lodge Of Edinburgh (Mary's Chapel), No. 1.
Lodge of Edinburgh ( Mary ' s Chapel ) , No . 1 .
In our issue for November will be found a Review of Bro . D . Murray Lyon ' s History of the Oldest Lodge in the World , No . i , Scotland , and in our February number we gave a portrait of the present R . W . M ., Bro . W . W . Robertson , H . M . Surveyor for Scotland , with an illustration
of the Lodge Hall , in Hill Street , where the brethren assemble . Now we present a reproduction of the oldest preserved minute of No . i , dated " Vltimo , July , 1599 " The record is of an interesting character , being a very early instance of
the use of the word Coivan , as distinct from Eavesdropper . George Patoun , a Mason , acknowledged , in a most humble manner , that he had disobeyed the law by employing " a Cowane to work at ane chymnay . " The Deacon and Masters of the lodge accepted the apology , as herein stated ,
and the mark of the Deacon is duly appended . The word Cowan does not occur again in the Records until the year 16 93 , when it was enacted that the penalty of " twelve pound Scots" shall be paid , if " any Master imploy a Cowan or Cowans , " the money was to be appropriated " to the use
of the poor , " so that if there were many delinquents , we must hope that the disposal of the penalties in some measure tended to mitigate the offence against the rules of the lodge .
