Some quotes from the article
*The Knights Templar were not only fierce warriors, but they were astute landlords and businessmen who ultimate owned over 500 sites in Scotland.
The end of the Knights Templar as an Order came when most of them were arrested in France on October 13, 1307, and subsequently in England and Scotland. 'The Knights Templar and Scotland' also deals with the possibility that some of the knights were involved with the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. The possibility begins with the excommunication and coronation of Robert the Bruce.
The excommunication of Robert the Bruce is applicable because all of Scotland was subject to an interdict. The result was that the knights who were not arrested could safely come to Scotland where they would be free of any action by the Pope.*
Here's the digital magazine the article referenced, it's sold for £2.99 which is a bargain.

The doc I'll try to find was about William Wallace's home and how it was pretty sophisticated and it lends credence to templars design and building styles.
I'll keep searching for more as it's interesting I heard in my travels that the Templars flew their flag at Bannockburn to piss off the pope.
If you type in templars in Scotland there's quite a lot about them like this one
