The Grand Lodge of Antient Free and Accepted Masons of Scotland administers the Scottish Craft across the world.

These include: Finance, Homes for the older person, a shop, administration and a Museum and Library. It is in this building that Grand Lodge meets to take all major decisions relating to the Scottish Craft.
