Torphichen Preceptory in West Lothian. From the 1140s this was the only base north of London of the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. From 1312 it also administered property previously held by the Knights Templar. More pics and info https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/torphichen/preceptory/index.html

Architect Sir James Gowans' 1859 monumental slab to his parents, Isabella Grott and John Gowans, and his dead siblings. #Torphichen Preceptory. Rather subdued, for him. New Year's Eve 2022.
