Templar stone?
Tuesday October 27, 2009
A mysterious stone uncovered in Midlothian, Scotland, may have a connection to the Knights Templar. Discovered by Crispin Phillips in the process of repairing a wall, the stone is covered with unusual symbols and appears to date to about the 13th or 14th century. Because the ruined chapel where the stone is located was part of an abbey founded by the Templars, scholars think the carvings may relate to the Templar organization, though no one has yet been able to figure out what they mean. Find out more in the article by Claire Smith at the Scotsman, which includes some nice photos.

Hmmm. Templar markings on a stone found in an abbey founded by the Templars.
What ARE the chances?
Sounds like an awsome find. Hope to hear more about it.
