Rattray Cork Court
Rattray Cork Court, meeting in Peterhead, forms part of the Allied Masonic Degrees and offers a light-hearted and enjoyable extension to the Masonic journey.
Often described as a “fun” degree, the Cork is centred on fellowship, humour, and, most importantly, charity. It provides members with an opportunity to come together in a relaxed and social setting while raising funds for children’s charities and other good causes.
About the Degree
The Cork Degree, formally known as the Ancient Order of Noble Corks, is an informal Masonic degree with origins tracing back to the 18th century. It has long been established within Freemasonry as a distinctive and much-enjoyed order.
The Degree is known for its unique and humorous character, often incorporating a nautical theme, while maintaining a clear and serious purpose — raising money for charity. Funds collected during meetings are traditionally donated to charitable causes, with a strong emphasis on supporting children’s charities.
It is this combination of enjoyment, camaraderie, and charitable giving that makes the Cork Degree such a valued part of the wider Masonic family.
