Welcome to the Brac Lodge No. 9470 website.
It is my distinct honour to serve as the newly installed Worshipful Master of Brac Lodge No. 9470 for the 2025–2026 Masonic year.
I warmly welcome you to our website and hope you find it educational, informative, and enjoyable. Whether you’re a curious visitor or a seasoned Brother, we invite you to explore the rich traditions and values that define Freemasonry and our Lodge.
To the General Public
Freemasonry is a time-honoured fraternity of men committed to personal growth, moral integrity, and community service. It is a journey of self-improvement, guided by symbolic rituals that emphasize respect for family, adherence to the laws of one’s country, and a deep sense of patriotism.
At its heart, Freemasonry teaches that all people are equal—regardless of race, religion, social status, or background. We strive to build character and virtue, using the allegory of constructing King Solomon’s Temple as a metaphor for building a good man on a strong foundation, supported by like-minded brethren.
Freemasonry is open and active in today’s society. If you’re drawn to its principles and values—and have the support of your family—you may begin your journey by expressing a sincere desire to join. Those of excellent character who seek to become better men are welcomed into our fraternity.
To Fellow Freemasons

S&F,
W.Bro. Andrew Carter

Freemasonry means different things to each of those who join. For some, it’s about making new friends and acquaintances. For others, it’s about being able to help deserving causes – making a contribution to family and society. But for most, it is an enjoyable hobby.
READ MOREThe questions of when, how, why and where Freemasonry originated are still the subject of intense speculation. The general consensus amongst Masonic scholars is that it descends directly or indirectly from the organisation of operative stone masons who built the great cathedrals and castles of the middle ages.
READ MOREThe values of Freemasonry are based on integrity, kindness, honesty and fairness. Freemasons are taught to practise charity and to care, not only for their own, but also for the community as a whole – both by charitable giving, and by voluntary efforts and works as individuals.
