Bonnie Dundee, like many of his contemporaries was a member of the
Knights Templar. When he died near Urrad during the battle of
Killiecrankie he was found to be wearing the Grand Cross of the
Order of the Temple, a device dating from before 1307.
Templeton Woods, as the name suggests was once owned by the
Knights Templar. It was a traditional training ground for the
knights - William Wallace also trained here when he lived in
Dundee.
In those times however it was just Templeton, the woods were not
planted here until 1810 on the instructions of Robert Duncan the
1st Earl of Camperdown.
There are several paths to explore winding through the woods -
we suggest that you waypoint your car!!!!
Clue should help as GPS signal can be very variable in the
area.
