The Quest for the Celtic Key

About the Book: 

Who were the Picts? The Druids? The Celtic saints?
Why are there so many Scottish connections to King Arthur, Merlin & the Holy Grail?
Why does Rosslyn Chapel [one of the key settings of The Da Vinci Code] attract so many prominent churchmen, Freemasons, Knights Templar, and Rosicrucians? Why was its famed ‘Apprentice’ pillar altered?’
What links America’s Declaration of Independence with Scotland’s Declaration of Arbroath?
