Conspiracy theorists see them everywhere, from the paintings of Da Vinci to the humble dollar bill. Real or imagined, the symbols of Freemasonry through the ages have beguiled and tantalised. Now their biggest secret may have been exposed in the heart of Scotland's biggest city.Research has suggested Glasgow Necropolis is a giant masonic symbol, fully 37 acres of landscaped metaphor.Historian Ronnie Scott has unearthed previously unseen patterns in the design of the early 19th-century cemetery. His theory, to be formally unveiled at the world's first conference on the history of Freemasonry in Edinburgh later this month, would turn upside down the history of one of Scotland's best-known landmarks. It would also make the Necropolis one of the biggest masonic sites on the planet."The more I looked, the more I saw," Mr Scott explained yesterday after years of painstaking study at Glasgow University.

"I began to see a pattern emerge and the Necropolis began to look like a very large and very solid representation of masonic ideals and symbolism."The Necropolis is clearly a symbolic landscape and my research indicates that we should start to think of it as a freemasonic landscape, one that has been planned and modelled as the moral teachings of the Craft, made solid and very visible. Hidden in plain sight, you could say."

If I remember correctly at the 1999 Canonbury Masonic Research Institute conference, James Stephen Curl gave a lecture on Masonic graves sites and he included Glasgow. Also, the Google Earth Marker for the Necropolis can be found if you do a search for "Glasgow Necropolis".

yeah. some pictures will be nice. but yeah, it sure is cool living within a symbol : x

Interesting.

sama

some pics of the necropolis graveyard i live like 5 minutes away and im goin to see if i can see if i can see some masonic symbols on some graves and tombs

Dunfermline abbey has the grave of the man that set up the modern freemasons, I've got people living near there so next time I pass by I'll take some pics and post em here.
I'm from a masonic family, goes back 7 generations that I know of, but I'm a girly so they don't want me in their freeky gang. But I do know for a fact that they wear hankies on their heads and stoopid aprons, 'cos I used to iron me da's stuff! Tubes......

Cool, we have something like that in Washington, DC. It's laid out in a pentegram I think.

"Its location and layout mirrors the masonic journey "from darkness to light". Those entering the cemetery do so across a bridge, through two pillars and by an arch before they climb a hill. All, as in the masonic journey, from west to east."

Perhaps you can take pictures of these pillars, arch, and bridge?
