In September 1892 Brother Major Robert King Stewart of Murdostoun, a member of No. 7 (Masons Lodge Hamilton Kilwinning), was installed as Provincial Grand Master of the Middle Ward. During his 38 years in office, 12 new Lodges were chartered and consecrated, including the revival of Lodges 440 and 471 which had been dormant. In January 1902 he was installed as Grand Junior Warden of Grand Lodge and in November 1913 installed as M.W. Grand Master Mason. He passed away in December 1930. His son, Captain John Christie Stewart, who was also a member of No. 7, was installed as Provincial Grand Junior Deacon in April 1923 by his father and also progressed through the ranks and was installed as Provincial Grand Master of Lanarkshire Middle Ward on February 1931.
