Rosslyn Chapel Museum Exhibition (1999-2005)
of Templar,
Rosicrucian & Guild regalia and history
Rosslyn Chapel, near Edinburgh, Scotland, is unique and
famed worldwide for the beauty of its medieval carvings and for its special
history. Built in 1446 by William St. Clair, third and last Prince of Orkney,
Rosslyn Chapel is still an historical enigma and special place of pilgrimage by
Freemasons, Rosicrucians and Templars worldwide. Its ornate Apprentice
Pillar and numerous Green Man carvings continue to intrigue many today.
Of interest to many was the private family museum exhibition (1999-2005)
featuring Guild, Templar, Rosicrucian, Gypsy, Black Madonna, and Celtic
artefacts, regalia, and symbolism. From the extensive collection of Society of Antiquaries (Scot). Fellow and private collector, Mr. Robert Brydon, the museum exhibition featured unique artefacts and regalia from some of the major western mystery
traditions. Having been on display at Rosslyn Chapel for the past 6 years, the private Brydon collection is now temporarily in storage, as plans for more space elsewhere in due course are being determined at present.
As International Consultant to the Board and Museum
exhibition at Rosslyn Chapel for a number of years, Dr. Karen Ralls (University
of Edinburgh) gives an illustrated slide show and talk about these artefacts
and their meanings, some of which have never been seen before by the public. She is author of Music and the Celtic Otherworld (2000), Indigenous Religious Musics (2001), The Quest for the Celtic Key (2002),
and The Templars and the Grail (May 2003).
