When was the Third degree first performed in Scotland?

The earliest surviving Scottish record of a Master Mason being admitted under the modern system is dated March 31, 1735, in the minutes of Lodge Canongate Kilwinning 1. No Scottish lodge records prior to 1735 contain references to distinct Masonic degrees 2.

David Murray Lyon argued that the degree was likely first practiced north of the border by the Edinburgh Kilwinning Scots Arms, a purely speculative lodge constituted on February 14, 1729 1. Following its introduction from England after 1723, the ceremony was adopted slowly and did not become common across Scottish lodges until after 1770 2.
