Red and Blue Aprons: What's the difference?

My friend from St. Andrews has a sash but it’s the light blue, like UGLE Craft lodges.
Always liked sashes...

That would be St. Andrews No. 25 then, (not that far from me in Fife). I've seen a few like that, but again, the beauty of Scottish Freemasonry is each lodge has a lot of autonomy in deciding things like their ritual and even down to how we dress.

I'll add a bit to the confusion. Last Saturday I was at my mother lodge. They just got their new aprons. MM aprons where blue bordered white aprons with MB on them (I thought they did that in other Rites), but there were also red bordered white aprons with MB on them. I didn't get to ask what or why, but the officers had the red aprons, the rest blue. This is one of these things I never really tried to figure out.

That said, in Europe it is fairly common to have Grand Lodge colors and Lodge colors, so a lodge can have a blue and gold border on their aprons and sashes, while another lodge has blue and red.

In our Blue Lodge, Masters and Officials use only blue aprons.

However, we've recently received a visitor from Europe who was using a red apron.

What exactly defines the colour of the apron? The rite or the degree/position within the rite?

Kind Regards

The visiting brother is a member of a Lodge that practices the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Craft Rituals.
This is a picture of me wearing the regalia of my Lodge that uses the AASR Ritual. Alongside me is a Brother Past Deputy Grand Master and the Grand Representative of the GNLF near our Grand Lodge.
AASR Rituals in craft lodges is one of the rituals in use in GNLF alongside RER, Emulation, French Rite, and many more.

Dear bretherens, i have been interested in freemasonry since the past 15 years but i couldnt ever find a lodge or a shrine nearby me. Its probably because i was in the middle east. Now, i have started a manufacturing and export company that produces and export several freemasonry products such as masonic badges, masonic aprons, masonic robes etc. If anyone would like to do business with me, please do contact me at topmarkcollection@gmail.com
Would love to get in contact with you all.

With regards,

Mate. That's off topic and hence spam...
