"The Secret Scroll is the story of how a little known manuscript in a Masonic Lodge in Orkney has become one of the most important historical documents of the Middle Ages. Brought there by the mysterious and condemned Order of the Knights Templars, its immense significance has only recently been brought to light. In this book, the result of a meticulous survey of historical documents and artefacts, Andrew Sinclair, himself a direct descendant of Henry St. Clair, Earl of Orkney and Grand Master of the Knights Templars, unlocks the secrets of the Kirkwall Scroll to reveal an extraordinary story which shatters many long-held opinions about the Templars, the Holy Grail and the discovery of America."
