Was Rosslyn Chapel built by Templars?
Rosslyn has nothing to do with the Templar order, despite the modern carving that claims a gravestone in the Chapel is that of a Knight Templar. The early members of the Sinclair family were knights, but unfortunately Dan Brown does not distinguish between the several William Sinclairs. One Sir William Sinclair was killed in battle against the Saracens at Teba in Spain on 25 August 1330. He had been en route to the Holy Land with a number of other Scottish knights, charged with taking the heart of the late King Robert the Bruce and burying it in Jerusalem.
