addition sinclair information: "templar sinclairs: From 1307, when the Templars in France were being chased out of the country by a major persecution, many took shelter in Scotland under the wings of the Roslin Sinclairs...and the Scottish king, Robert I de Bruce, welcomed the knights with open arms. The first Grand Master of Masonry in Scotland was (another) William Sinclair of Roslin Castle. His descendant, another William Sinclair yet, laid (in 1446) the foundations of the esoteric cathedral, Rosslyn Chapel (on the same hill as Roslin Castle). This cathedral, every square inch of which is laced with carvings, was built in French style, suggesting that it was indeed built by the French Templars who had escaped to Scotland. reference cited: http://www.tribwatch.com/roslin.htm bill p.s. thnx for all you do at OFS, George ----- Original Message ----- From: George Gray <[email protected]> Date: Friday, July 1, 2005 0:54 am Subject: Re: [Orkney] Warsetter > Ken, > > On looking through the Orkney Census the only Warstter appears to > be in > Sanday. > > When Lord Henry Sinclair was killed at the Battle of Flodden his > brother > Sir William Sinclair of Warsetter took over his duties in Orkney. > as Henry's son, William, was only a child. > > If you take a look at this website Sigurd Towrie expains their > involvement > in the Battle of Summerdale: > > http://www.orkneyjar.com/history/summerdale.htm > > George Gray, Orkney > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 6:38 AM > Subject: [Orkney] Warsetter > > > >I have often run across the name of this estate in accounts about > Orkney, > >but > > can't find any of those references just now. > > > > Can any Lister tell me where it is located? > > > > Ken Harrison > > North Vancouver, Canada > > > > Unless specifically stated otherwise in this message, there is > no > > intentional > > attachment on this e-mail transmission. > > > > > > ==== ORKNEY Mailing List ==== > >>>>>TIP: When when posting your research interests, include the > surnames > >>>>>in your subject line - this will improve our list archive and > assist > >>>>>future researchers.<<<< > > > > ============================== > > Census images 1901, 1891, 1881 and 1871, plus so much more. > > Ancestry.com's United Kingdom & Ireland Collection.
