What They Recorded
From 1353 to 1770, the Sinclair and Wemyss families maintained a continuous record of a single mission: protecting and transporting Templar treasures believed lost after 1307.
Their destination appears again and again in the journals — "the lands far to the west."
North America. Centuries before Columbus.
These aren't legends. These aren't theories. These are first-person accounts, maintained by the families themselves, now translated and analyzed for the first time.

The Research Comes Full Circle

The Sinclair/Wemyss Journals are where those threads converge.
