What makes Scotland unique? What highlights its place in the world and within history? What establishes the basis of Scotland’s civic and national pride?

We all make mistakes. But when mistakes pass through a multitude of 'safeguards' without correction, how should we judge the gatekeepers?

In our travels, there may be times we might question the value of it. Whether the value is in the travel rather than the destination.

Scotland’s earliest Templars are hidden history, hidden in plain sight, undiscovered for want of competent scholarly consideration.

Join the debate, engage the crowd, save heritage, share in the benefits history can bring those who care, as opposed to those that govern.

A campaign blog, chronicling the campaigners' opinions, thoughts, and events, in what has become, not only an extraordinary discovery, but an indictment of heritage governance, indifference and understanding.

In October 2025 the Scottish goverment ruled on whether Dumfries and Galloway Council were right to impose the return the most valuable medieval artefacts in the world to a dilapidated building... was this prudent?

We are currently undertaking our fifth trawl through academia, pleading for objective evaluation of our archaeological investigation.

It was the Scottish Government’s Planning and Environmental Appeals Division’s (DPEA) verdict that the owners’ bells, should be returned to Holywood Church belfry, regardless of the fact the bells were evidenced to be the only significant provenanced Knights Templar artefacts in the world, worth millions of pounds:

The owners find themselves in battle to have validated, a proficient objective investigation measured against a subjective academic view.

Legal advocates, reviewing the case, all agreed, ‘An enormous coup for Scotland denied because of an 'academic and bureaucratic mess.'
