Inaugurated at Balgonie Castle, Fife

Grand Prior: HSE Chevalier George Stewart KGCTpl FSA Scot  
Adventor Ad Regiones Europae





It is three years since 7 knights formed The Commandery of Jacques de Molay1314. We have used this time wisely and we are pleased to report that the Commandery has now well exceeded the numerical, structural and spiritual requirements for the establishment of a Grand Priory. Accordingly, The Autonomous Grand Priory of Scotland was inaugurated at Balgonie Castle, Fife on 9th May 2009. Our Commander, Chevalier George Stewart KGCTpl was democratically elected to serve as Grand Prior for a period of five years. This event is very significant and bodes well for Templarism in Scotland.

New Preceptory: St Bernard of Clairvaux


A New Preceptory named after St Bernard of Clairvaux was inaugurated on 20th February 2009 at Hamilton Old Parish Church. Chev Robert Hunter KCTpl has been appointed Preceptor. This Preceptory meets every month with the exception of July and August.

The Commandery of Jacques de Molay 1314 also meets every month with the exception of July and August at Hamilton Old Parish Church, Hamilton, Scotland.

We are fortunate to have an excellent meeting venue at Hamilton Old Parish Church. The Autonomous Grand Priory of Scotland, Scottish Knights Templar, wish to record our grateful thanks for the use of The Session Room. The Reverend John M. A. Thomson T.D., J.P., B.D., ThM. and The Kirk Session of Hamilton Old Parish Church have made our Templars feel most welcome.
