Introduction

Dedicated to Researching Rosslyn Chapel, The Knights Templar and Scottish Freemasonry

The group is self-funding and is entirely independent of any other group.

It is not a Masonic body and has no affiliation to any Masonic entity.

Therefore, although all members are Freemasons they do not act for, or represent, any other group.

Knights Templar

The History of the medieval Order is so well known, and has been published in so many other places, that there seems little point in providing a comprehensive account here.

Book Reviews

Here we shall post details of books which we think will be of interest to visitors to this site. Please be aware that because of our small number and the potentially huge number of books and other publications which could justifiably be included here additions are likely to be sporadic and arbitrary (depending on who is reading what at any given time).

​

The Rosslyn Templars have decided that the time is now right to sub-divide the books of interest to us into five main categories:

The Knights Templar

Rosslyn Chapel

Freemasonry

History

Fiction

Miscellaneous

It may be that some further sub-divisions become necessary, for example, ‘history’, might be divided into Scottish and non-Scottish.
