Scottish Templar heritage
Templar Secret from the Scottish Highlands
Linguist and historian Afrodita Ross publishes the finding of a treasure hidden by the Templars at Templštejn castle, which naturally sparks interest beyond just academic circles. Her Scottish uncle, Malcolm, contacts her and asks her to come and visit him. According to an ancient legend, a Templar treasure is hidden somewhere in the Scottish Highlands. He is convinced of this by an ancient manuscript stored in the family archive. Dita gladly agrees, but from the moment she arrives in Edinburgh, things do not go at all as she expected. Especially after a murder occurs at her uncle's castle, and her boyfriend finds himself among the suspects.
