The Rosslyn Hoax?

The Rosslyn Hoax? was published in October 2006 and looks at a variety of subjects associated with Rosslyn Chapel from a new perspective. Written by Robert L D Cooper, the Curator of the Museum and Library of the Grand Lodge of Scotland - the home of Scottish Freemasonry. The author examines all the various theories which link Rosslyn Chapel with Freemasonry, the Knights Templar and the St. Clair family etc. In the process he reveals some startling facts and comes to some profound conclusions.

The information in the book will be an essential source of reference for all those interested in Freemasonry (especially Scottish Freemasonry), Rosslyn Chapel, the St. Clair (Sinclair) family, the Knights Templar, the Kirkwall Scroll and a host of other subjects. The Da Vinci Code, although a work of fiction, contains references to many of these subjects and so inevitably that novel must also be discussed so far as it touches on Freemasonry and Rosslyn Chapel. A separate Da Vinci page has been created for that purpose. To go there click here or on the previous link.
