Excerpt from History of the Lodge Canongate Kilwinning No; 2: Compiled From the Records, 1677-1888 When an institution has survived the vicissitudes of over two centuries, it becomes entitled to our veneration and respect. It is therefore a fair subject of congratulation that Canongate Kilwinning Lodge has not only existed for that period, but has assembled in the same district, under the same name, and for over one hundred and fifty years under the same roof. In preparing this History, it has been found a somewhat difficult task to condense the very large and varied amount of material into the space at command. The work is almost exclusively a compilation from the more interesting Minutes and Records of the Lodge, with connecting and explanatory notes when necessary. As Canongate Kilwinning Lodge is the eldest daughter of Mother Kilwinning, there is, fortunately, no obscurity regarding the date of her birth, and all discussion with reference to the antiquity of this or that Lodge is avoided as quite beyond the purpose of this History. It is enough to say that the great and continued interest in this celebrated Lodge has prompted the present work.
