Hi Bill

I have been very busy knitting the threads of my book. I feel I must stop for a moment as I can add to the case of the Lion gates at this time. I will be brief and lay out what I see as relevant, in response to the question given by jean.

Some years ago I chased the tail of the Lion in Scotland. The ‘Lions-tale’ alignment in Scotland is as follows:-

This line follows the costal extreme of the eastern seaboard of Scotland. The lion/Lyon/Bos-Lyon families have many burial and birth connections with the given sites. Arbroath being Willaim 3rd lions burial etc… On the following map, fig 1 Rosslyn is seen as the precise centre of the format. The lion line is about 23 degrees east of north. By turning the octagonal key, and treating this as a spoke in a spinner’, or a line in an octagon, I measured an octagonal angle of 45 degrees east, from the lionline. The manifest line is a very known alignment of sacred sites known as the Belinus line, the alignment of the winter solstice sun rise over the Uk.

Some of the important sites located by the line are St. Catherine's Hill Winchester, Uffington, Rollright stones, Meon hill, Biddulph, Shap circles, Long Meg, Rosslyn, Pitlochry (geographical centre of Scotland) Lairg and cape Wrath on the north coast of Sutherland.

From here I ventured a little further into the temple. I took the distance from the Isle of Man to Rosslyn, or Peterhead to Rosslyn and applied a 45 degree measure as a segment of a laid out geometric shape. This shape unites Ireland’s northern tip, with the Isle of Man and the Western Scottish Isles. Inverness and Peterhead both mark land extremes and bolt down the northern segment of the octagon.

Weddergate castle, a little south east of Rosslyn chapel, closer to Berwick and Eyemouth on the coast is a Temple similar to Chiswick house. I set about studying its geometry, as part of a study I was involved in. Why? because is an arrangement of octogons and squares.

The castle was originally a fortified tower house and it is recorded that Mary Queen of Scots stayed here on her way to survey the construction of the English defensive walls at Berwick-upon-Tweed. The present house was design by Robert and James Adam. Patrick Home, to whom the house belonged took no interest in the practicalities of building. Instead he embarkedon a six year 'Grand Tour' of the Continent, leaving nephew George, to oversee the building. The Wedderburn web site relates a letter sent by George to his uncle, reporting in Autumn 1773 that Wedderburn was the most beautiful building he had ever seen,

It is light and elegant and has an appearance of extent much beyond the real one. The octagons have a fine effect, especially on the west front, as has the circular projection on the south. But the outside is not its only beauty. Within it will be convenience itself: there it may vie with the palaces of Italy.

What is relevent here is that as you enter the grounds, you do so by going through the Liongate as shown below.

If you require I will send through a small study on the interior of the temple, but for now I will stick to the gate. From this location, I drew a line north, parallel with the octogons lines, and arrived at the place where Alexander the 3rd Lion, was thrown from his horse near Elgin Cathedral. Heading north it crosses the Moray Firth and lands at Loth, on the Sutherland coast; this is a very important place. This line ends at Strathy point where the 4 degree line meets the northern tip of the Uk. There appears a repeated number of Kings-gates, lions-gates and Lots, luds etc on these lines, not to mention Cathedrals which were erected by the Lions. The following map shows by a blue line, liongate at Wedderburn to Strathy, locating Arbroath, almost naturally, on its lay.

Hope this helps.

Cheers for now
