The Little Letter for Gaelic Learners show

Summary: Ruairidh continues to discuss the Knights Templar, following on from the rumour that they were at Bannockburn. He wonders what happens to them. They were declared illegal by the Pope in 1307 and their buildings, land and finance were confiscated. What happened to the knights themselves? Did they come to Scotland? This is what Ruairidh ponders in this week’s letter. Accompanying text is available in both English and Gaelic at bbc.co.uk/litirbheag
