Excerpt from Statutes of the Religious and Military Order of the Temple, as Established in Scotland: With an Historical Notice of the Order It might be matter of grave doubt, if the general correct ness of this statement were assumed, whether the Members of the French Society are thereby entitled to assume the position of genuine representatives of the Templars. The power of nomination to the Mastership was not vested in Jacques de Molay, but in the great body of the brethren, and the appoint ment of Larmenius might be challenged, as not only irregular, but as altogether incompetent, and consequently as vitiating the claim of the subsequent line of descent. Such consider ations, however, must be considered as foreign to the ques tion, until the authenticity of the statement is ascertained.

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 history of the Knights Templar.
