Torphichen Village

Torphichen is a town from ancient times, as there are historical references that refer to it as a vilage of the Celts. The founding of the town is set in 400 AD . But this place became popular in the Middle Ages as one of the 1st settlements of Templars in Scotland, where they founded the Priory which would later be taken by the Knights Hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem. The president of the order is Queen Elizabeth of England and The Knights of St. John They shared features with the Templars as both were clerics, warriors, but for historical reasons the 1st was more popular in Scotland. A clarification that confuses the visitor.
