The Cape Society
- Welcome
- We are Knights of The Cape Society
- Our members, our Companion Knights, are committed to each other's well-being. We promote harmony within our Society and encourage honourable and dignified behaviour among our members. These key qualities are embodied in our watchwords: Concordia Fratrum Decus.
-
Behold how good a thing it is,
And how becoming well
Together, such as brethern are,
In unity to dwell.
- Concordia
- When speaking of Concordia, we refer to the harmony, the glue, which binds Knights of The Cape Society: Knights' hearts beat as one.
- Fratrum
- In our utterance of Fratrum, we recount our collective strength which comes from many tight and loyal relationships between Knights of The Cape Society.
- Decus
- Our cries of Decus, instill in us the sense of honour and dignity we admire and foster in ourselves and our Companion Knights.
- Convivial
- As well as the grand core values and ideas contained in our watchwords, we are a convivial society which meets twice a month to enjoy a drink in friendly and comfortable surroundings. We recall tales of our recent exploits as a society and discuss topics relevant to our beloved city of Edinburgh.

- Turtle Feast
- Spurtles at the ready: you know the script. If you don't, drop the Cape Society an email and it'll reveal all. Each ticket for a three course meal and entry in to a world of entertainment, axiomatic in nature, is parsimoniously priced at £45. Expect the bon vivants to spout savoir faire and offer up a generally ludic evening with a small dose of Rabelaisian; and pack-up your spurtle in your conviviality bag. Here's a reminder of last year's bash.

Meet at the
