Places and books like Rosslyn Chapel and The Da Vinci Code have
focused attention on Scotland's Knights Templar. Who they were and
what they did has been touched upon, but never properly explored
until now. They were close advisors to Scotland's early kings; they
were major property owners and respected landlords in a harsh and
unforgiving time; and they were secretive and arrogant. But did
they really flee from France to Scotland just prior to their arrest
in 1307? Did they fight with Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn in
1314? And how did the Templars continue on after Bannockburn? In
The Knights Templar and Scotland Robert Ferguson intertwines
Templar and Scottish history, from the foundation of the order in
the early twelfth century right up to the present day. Including a
comparison of the arrest of the Templars in France with the Templar
Inquisition at Holyrood, and an examination of the part they played
at Bannockburn, this is an essential book for anyone with an
interest in the history of the Knights Templar.
