    About the Book

    Edit

    Traced features a collection of fine art photographs by Leslie Hossack. This series explores the long and intertwined history of Scotland's operative stonemasons and speculative Freemasons, and follows their story from the calloused hands of ancient builders to the white gloves of modern masons – an arcane legacy.

    In today’s world, where transparency, equity and inclusion are key concerns, the Freemasons appear to be an anachronism. One of the oldest fraternal organizations in the world, Freemasonry is a closed society that admits men only. Their closely guarded and highly codified craft, which is characterized by the use of ritual, regalia and symbolism, has generated suspicion, fear and conspiracy theories. Hossack traces the mysterious story from the Ring of Brodgar, through the abbeys and cathedrals of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Kirkwall, to Rosslyn Chapel, Greyfriars Kirkyard and Holyrood Palace and, finally, inside several Masonic lodges.
