KNIGHT TEMPLARS AND WHITE GOLD
History of the Knights Templar in Scotland –
Until the nineteenth century in Scotland, salt once known as, ‘Scotland’s White Gold,’ was the only bulk food-preservative available, vital in the preservation of fish, meat and dairy. Scotland both imported and exported salt.
Mentioned in a medieval charter the, ‘Registrum Sancte Marie de Neubotle dated 1237,’ the Knights Templar possessed a Saltworks at the Carse in Callander, Perthshire.
‘Evidence for salt-production in Scotland survives from the first quarter of the twelfth century, but the production sites seem to have been already long established by that date.’
