With a name like mine I have to dismiss all connections with that book!
If the scaffolding is still up over it then go up and look..amazing.
Look at especially the Appentices Pillar and the masons plans scratched into the walls.
The chapel was founded by William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness. The family testified against the Templars when that Order was put on trial in Edinburgh in 1309 and yet it has the Templar symbols.
Let me tell you a story.
The Legend is the Knights Templar escaped here, with trasure, from the Temple London. The Grand Masters are buried in the inaccessible crypt.
A team of archeologist drilled a hole and lowered a camera..it stuck..bigger hole …it stuck. Dropped a tube through..lowered camera..it stuck. They gave up. One said it was as if a mailed fist grabbed the camera and said “No you don’t”
I asked the curator..he said no more archeologists. We need tourists money for upkeep. If they proved the legend untrue would folk still come?
I would! This place is amazing!

Very interesting. As a former scout who camped at Tempalrs Park outside Aberdeen I have been intriqued by Templar legend for years. btw you may wish to adjust the address which appears on the review for Roslin Chapel

Yes I realise that the address is wrong but it was already set by a previous reviewer and I have no idea how to change that.
