Kilwinning Abbey. For nearly four centuries Kilwinning remained one of the most opulent and flourishing Scottish monasteries. The last abbot and commendator was Gavin Hamilton, who while favouring the Protestant Reformation doctrines, was a strong partisan of Mary, Queen of Scots. He was killed in a battle outside Edinburgh in June, 1571. The suppression of the abbey soon followed and its possessions, held for a time by the families of Glencairn and Raith, were merged in 1603 with the other properties of the one obvious recipient – Hugh, Earl of Eglinton, whose successors still own them (as of the 21st century). The Earls of Eglinton preserved the remains of the buildings, which include the great west doorway with window above, the lower part of the south wall of nave and the tall gable of the south transept with its three lancet windows.

Kilwinning is notable for housing the original Lodge of the Freemasons. When the Lodges were renumbered, Kilwinning was kept as Lodge Number ‘0’, the Mother Lodge of Scotland. The origin of the Lodge is unclear with the first documentary evidence being a mention in The Schaw Statutes of 1598 and 1599 which identify it in its first paragraph as the heid and secund Judge of Scotland“. [head and second lodge of Scotland] The lodge’s own legend attributes the formation to the building of the Abbey at Kilwinning in the 12th Century, when corporations or fraternities of masons, endowed with certain privileges and immunities, capable of erecting religious structures in the Gothic style. A party of these foreign masons is supposed to have come from Italy, or Cologne, for the purpose of building the Abbey at Kilwinning and to have founded there the first regularly constituted Operative Lodge in Scotland. The Lodge is reputed to have been held in the Chapter House on the Eastern side of the cloisters. Wikipedia.

1823 Joseph Smith Jr. (Descendant of Malcolm 1st King of Scots) Palmyra, New York. ‘I beheld the same messenger [Moroni] at my bedside, and heard him rehearse or repeat over again to me the same things as before; and added a caution to me [joseph], telling me that Satan would try to tempt me (in consequence of the indigent circumstances of my father’s family), to get the plates for the purpose of getting rich. This he [Moroni] forbade me, saying that I must have no other object in view in getting the [gold] plates but to glorify God, and must not be influenced by any other motive than that of building his kingdom; otherwise I could not get them. *** when almost immediately after the heavenly messenger had ascended from me for the third time, the cock crowed, and I found that day was approaching, so that our interviews must have occupied the whole of that night. I shortly after arose from my bed, and, as usual, went to the necessary labors of the day; but, *** I found my strength so exhausted, *** I started with the intention of going to the house; but, in attempting to cross the fence out of the field where we were, my strength entirely failed me, and I fell helpless on the ground *** voice speaking unto me, calling me by name. I looked up, and beheld the same messenger standing over my head, surrounded by light as before. He then again related unto me all that he had related to me the previous night, and commanded me to go to my father and tell him of the vision and commandments.***’ Pearl of Great Price.
