Curator, Grand Lodge of Scotland

Would you like to know the truth about Rosslyn Chapel in Edinburgh, Scotland? Since the publication of the novel The DaVinci Code many have been asking questions and putting forward theories about Freemasonry, especially Freemasonry in Scotland, its alleged connection with the Knights Templar, the St. Clair family, and Rosslyn Chapel. On October 21, 2006 at the annual meeting of the Scottish Rite Research Society’s board of directors, Robert Cooper, museum and library curator of the Masonic Grand Lodge in Edinburgh discussed the findings of his new book, The Rosslyn Hoax? His book is a product of the research undertaken to answer those thousands of questions about Rosslyn Chapel.

Tours of the House of the Temple began the day and a luncheon followed in the George Washington Memorial Banquet Hall. Dr. William Brunk, President of the Scottish Rite Research Society,welcomed guests to the Society’s Annual Meeting and the special guest lecturer, Robert Cooper, presented an excellent discussion of his findings. Attendees were encouraged to ask questions following the talk. Guests then adjourned to the atrium, where they were able to meet the author and obtain an autographed copy of The Rosslyn Hoax.
