District Grand Lodge of the Eastern Province of the Cape of Good Hope
Welcome to Eastern Cape Scottish Freemasonry District
Lodge Kaffrarian Celtic
Location: Gonubie, East Lomdon, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
Consecrated: 1878, King Williamstown
Founded in 1878 with strong military ties, many members served in the 9th Frontier War. Alex Duncan was the first RWM (1878–1879), and the lodge helped install the first RWM of St Andrews No. 651 SC in 1880 after a 122 km horseback journey. Kaffrarian Celtic is the second-oldest Scottish lodge in the District.
The lodge survived a fire in 1998, with the Volume of Sacred Law saved. It relocated to the Bramble Masonic Complex in Gonubie, East London. Kaffrarian Celtic is known for fundraising (including golf days), adherence to Scottish customs, and fostering inter-constitutional respect.
