Iolaus, Born in Blood is a good read. There are so many alleged 'Masonic' titles out there, but many of them have no actual foundation in fact.

The Templar connections are interesting, indeed, but there are so many legends that have sprung up about the Templars that it can be difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. I cringe every time I see that someone is attributing the Bruce's victory at Bannockburn to a last-minute charge of the Templars. There's nothing to substantiate that theory, whatsoever. If you spend a bit of time talking with Scottish historians, or reading their works, there is absolutely no mention of any Templar presence at Bannockburn.

There are so many (well over 200, world-wide) groups that claim to be descended from the 'original Knights Templar' and we have no way to satisfactorily prove any of those claims.




The fellow in the center of these photos is the Grand Prior of the Knights Templar of Scotland, Ken Schirra. Is this order the 'real' Knights Templar? Who can say?

These images were taken at the Battle of Falkirk Memorial, during a commemoration there. And don't be placing designs on the lass, either, as she is already mine, thank you very much.
