The Quest for the Celtic Key Summary

The Quest for the Celtic Key by Karen Ralls-MacLeod

Who were the Picts? The Druids? The Celtic saints? Why are there so many Scottish connections to King Arthur, Merlin and the Holy Grail? Why does Rosslyn Chapel attract so many prominent churchmen, Freemasons, Knights Templar, and Rosicrucians, and why was its famed "Apprentice" carving altered? What links America's Declaration of Independence with Scotland's Declaration of Arbroath? Why did the "Blue Blanket" of Edinburgh rouse the Guilds to free the King? Did Prince Henry Sinclair sail to North America before Columbus?
