The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is a rite within the broader context of Freemasonry. It is the most widely practiced Rite in the world.

The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite is a rite comprising 33 degrees. The first three degrees are administered by “blue lodges” or “symbolic lodges.” They are called “Blue degree” and not “Red degrees”. The Scottish rite is by far the most practiced rite worldwide. The next thirty degrees (from the 4th to the 33rd), the high or side degrees – a further development and complement to the first three – are administered by the “Supreme Councils of the 33rd and final degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.” However, the name can slightly vary depending on the jurisdictions.
