Annual installation at Masonic lodge at heart of Fife villages since 1909
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The lodge has been part of the life of the ABCD villages - Auchterderran, Bowhill, Cardenden and Dundonald - since 1909 but is facing lean times as the number of brethren attending has fallen away over the years ever since Bowhill Colliery closed and the population of the villages changed.
In his acceptance of the position of Master, Brother Miller said “The strength of any organisation lies with its members and it is up to those of us who remain to do our utmost to encourage a resurgence of enthusiasm among lapsed members and to receive new applicants for membership with welcoming arms.

The lodge has been represented at both the village fair and Bowhill Highland Games during recent years and members will again take part in the village Service of Remembrance on November 12.
