Templar of Scotland

The Templar of Scotland refers to the presence and legacy of the Knights Templar in Scotland, a medieval Catholic military order founded in the early 12th century. Known for their role in the Crusades, the Templars also established commanderies and engaged in local governance and trade. In Scotland, they were granted land and played a pivotal role in the religious and political landscape. After their suppression in the early 14th century, many former Templars were absorbed into other orders, but their influence remains in Scottish history, architecture, and folklore, particularly in relation to themes of chivalry and secrecy.
