This book delves into the fascinating history of master masons, who held significant positions in the royal courts of Scotland from the 16th to the early 18th centuries. These skilled craftsmen were not only responsible for constructing and maintaining royal buildings but also played crucial roles in shaping the architectural landscape of the nation. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a changing Scotland, where the power dynamics between the monarchy, the church, and the nobility were constantly shifting. As the influence of the church waned and the monarchy's power grew, master masons transitioned from serving wealthy religious institutions to becoming integral members of the royal court. This book explores the evolving role of these master masons, tracing their rise in social status and their contributions to iconic structures like Stirling Castle, Holyrood Palace, and Linlithgow Palace. The author delves into the lives and works of prominent master masons, including members of the Mylne family, who held the esteemed position of Master Mason to the Crown for generations. Through their stories, readers gain insights into the artistic, technical, and political aspects of royal architecture in Scotland. The book also sheds light on the connections between early masons and freemasonry, highlighting the historical significance of this enduring fraternal organization.
