Inaugurated at Balgonie

Grand Prior:
HSE Chevalier George Stewart

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.
