DAY TOURS 2008 (page 2)


.Rosslyn Chapel & the Knights Templar £32/person 8hrs
Did the Knights Templar discover America? Did they found the Masonic Order? Were the St Clairs of Rosslyn Grand Masters of the ‘Prieure de Sion’? Does the Crypt of the Chapel contain Biblical treasure? These are only a few of the questions that add to the mystery and intrigue that surround Rosslyn Chapel. On the return journey we visit Bannockburn Battlefield where the Knights Templar may have had an influence on the outcome of this famous Battle, we will also stop to view the ‘Falkirk Wheel’.
