Freemasons' Hall, Edinburgh, Category A listed Masonic hall in New Town, Edinburgh, Scotland.

The Freemasons' Hall on George Street features a four-story Victorian structure topped with a glass dome and decorated with a statue of St Andrew.

Alexander Hunter Crawford designed the current building in 1911, replacing an earlier 1858 structure created by architect David Bryce for the Scottish Freemasons.

During the inaugural Edinburgh International Festival in 1947, the hall transformed into a concert venue hosting ten chamber performances by the Jacques Orchestra.

The establishment accommodates up to 250 guests for weddings and 520 delegates for corporate functions, with booking available through an online system.

The interior houses a museum displaying masonic artifacts, including regalia associated with poet Robert Burns and King George VI.
