So from Welsh Castles, Arthurian Legends, Druids, Eisteddfods to Reformers you can always find a legend or piece of history near to you - ready to discover today and tomorrow! Temple village was the main Knights Templar site in Scotland.
The Old Temple Kirk, may stand on the site of a previous Templar church, having been built by the Knights of St. John after the dissolution of the Templars. This may be the site of the real 'Rosslyn' and the Templar treasure for local legend claims that the treasure was moved from Paris to here in Scotland between the 'oak and elm tree'. French legends also suggest the treasure was taken to Scotland in the vicinity of the Firth of Forth. See on the Map-olah Map: https://www.zeemaps.com/view?group=2653234&item=Temple_-_Templars'_Treasure_&_HQ_in_Scotland Mokoia Island in Lake Rotoroa, is sacred to the Te Arawa Tribe of the Maori people, and is the setting for the legend of Hinemoa and Tutenakai.
The warrior Tutenakai lived on the tiny island and played music each night on his pipes with his friend Tiki. The music floated on the air across the lake and on its banks noble-born Hinemoa heard the notes the warrior played. Tutenakai visited Hinemoa's village and met her and they fell in love, but he had to return to his village on the island. He promise Hinemoa that he would play the music each night, so that she could follow the music and swim across the lake to the island to join him. Hinemoa heard the music and had selected six dry gourds to use as floats so that she could swim across the lake. She followed the music and made it to the island, gaining refreshment at the hot spring on the island, Waikimihia. By chance Tutenakai had sent his servant to collect water, and he reported back that there was a young woman by the spring. Tutenakai rushed down to greet Hinemoa, and they lived happily ever after.

King Baghiratha performed pennance in a bid to gain the salvation of sixty thousand of his ancestors who as ashes were had been trapped in the underworld, and in so doing gained the prize of the Ganges descent from heaven. However, the force of the fall would split the earth apart, and so Baghiratha persuades the god Shiva to break the fall of the river's descent by using the coils of his hair. The Ganges falls from heaven onto the coils and can then gently fall onto the Himalayas, before Baghiratha led the river out across India and into the ocean so that it could plunge to the underworld to save his ancestors. See the source of the Ganges on the Map-Olah map: https://www.zeemaps.com/view?group=2653234&item=The_Ganges'_Descent_from_Heaven Sightings of a dragon at Henham-on-the-Mount were reported in a pamphlet of 1669 - "The Flying Serpent or Strange news out of Essex". Numerous locals were said to have attested to the sighting and further sightings continued after the pamphlet!
Temple village was the main Knights Templar site in Scotland. The Old Temple Kirk, may stand on the site of a previous Templar church, having been built by the Knights of St. John after the dissolution of the Templars.
This may be the site of the real 'Rosslyn' and the Templar treasure for local legend claims that the treasure was moved from Paris to here in Scotland between the 'oak and elm tree'. French legends also suggest the treasure was taken to Scotland in the vicinity of the Firth of Forth. On the north coast of County Antrim can be found around 40,000 interlocking hexagonal basalt columns, said to have been made into a causeway by the Irish giant Finn MacCool so that he could fight the Scottish giant Benandonner.
The other end of the causeway is located on the Scottish Isle of Staffa, at Fingal's Cave, with its identical basalt columns. The geological feature can also be put down to the cooling of volcanic activity in the area 50 - 60 million years ago. The lost lands of Welsh King, Gwyddno Garanhir, lay submerged beneath the waves.
The town of Cantrer Gwaelod had stood below sea level protected by sea walls but a drunken Seithennyn forgot to close them one night and a storm submerged the town as its people fled. See the petrified forest at Ynyslas, as you listen out for the ring of the bells sounding from the lost church. Borth and Ynyslas can be found on the West Wales coast in the county of Ceredigion. Nottingham Castle home of the Sheriff of Nottingham is the site where Robin Hood was captured and held prisoner.
