However there was very good evidence presented that some form of Grand Lodge did exist before then. A visit by Desgualier to a Lodge in Scotland noted him as being over the Lodges of London but the term Grand Master was not used. I didn't take notes unfortunately so must wait for the publication by QC. I know that there are documents showing the crafts existence especially in Scotland going back much earlier but "Grand Lodges" seem to have their roots in London.
