The painting is the earliest material evidence linking the
Knights Templar to Rosslyn Chapel. In the book Ashley discusses
the painting, the history of
Freemasonry and the architecture of Rosslyn, new artistic
evidence for a connection between the Templars, Freemasons and
Rosslyn. Ashley is also hosting an exhibition of photographs
