    List of Templar commanderies in Lothian

    Brian de Jay, who was the front last master of the province of England has shown how inglorious while it was still that master of the baillie of Scotland. A case of spoliation in the years 1290/1300 opposed it the family of the Lord of Halkeston. The Lady of Esperton, his widow, was to retrieve the goods warranty by her husband if she survived him but the Templars refused and expelled him... She had a finger cut on this occasion, took the case to the King, would succeed but not recovered his property because the war had resumed between England and Scotland. In 1298, her son Richard of Esperton came meets Brian de Jay who had to stop with a detachment of archers at Balantrodoch. The latter asked him to guide them to Falkirk and did murder among the one hundred forty-four Templars from the British Isles who were interviewed during the trial of the Knights Templar, only two were in Scotland.
