This article from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Legacies series explores the connection between Scotland's Rosslyn Chapel and the Knights Templar order. "Even though the chapel was built over a century after the formal suppression of the order, many believe that the ornate carvings in the chapel hold the key to the secrets of the Templars, and that Rosslyn may hold some of the Templars' fabled treasure."
