Dear Mr. Branshaw,
Rosslyn Chapel was built around 1453 A.D. by William Sinclair, Lord of
Rosslyn. He was the grandson of Prince Henry Sinclair, Lord of Rosslyn and
Jarl (Earl) of the Orkney Islands off the northeast coast of Scotland, who
voyaged to Nova Scotia Canada, Massachusetts and Rhode Island from 1398-1399
A.D. Rosslyn is six miles south of Edinburgh. The Knights Templar lived at
Ballantrodoch, near Rosslyn and were friends of the Sinclairs. Some of them
went with Prince Henry on his voyage. There are carvings having to do with
the Knights Templar in Rosslyn Chapel. I know nothing about the Ark of the
Covenant and Rosslyn Chapel. The Holy Grail is supposed to be buried in
Rosslyn Chapel.
Sincerely,
Susan M. Grady
