The Managing Editor and Founder, Brother Angus N. MacInnes, Past Provincial Grand Master of Dunbartonshire, decided to set up this charitable company, limited by guarantee, to promote Scottish Freemasonry. All surpluses generated by the company are donated to the Benevolent Funds of the Grand Lodge of Antient Free and Accepted Masons of Scotland.
Circle Publications provides a number of items for the interest and edification of Freemasons all over the world. Pride of place goes to the magazine, The Ashlar, first published in 1997. This idiosyncratic publication is produced thrice yearly, in January, March and September, this timing designed as the best fit for the Scottish Masonic calendar.
The Ashlar is produced as a high quality magazine, in colour, at the minimal cost of £2.50 per copy. It is not intended to be an academic journal; the main focus is on providing a platform where a Mason can express his opinions. However, the magazine is intended to provide information on Scottish Freemasonry for Freemasons around the world and therefore is a superb medium in promoting Masonic education.
The Ashlar is already enjoyed by many with subscribers in every continent. We trust this website will encourage you to become a regular reader and support Scottish Freemasonry.
