By A SCOTTISH masonic expert has blasted Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown for “twisting history” in his new book.
The plot of Brown’s new book has been one of the most guarded secrets in publishing history, but is widely expected to use Scotland as his source material.
The Lost Symbol is released on Tuesday and the cover of the US edition features various Scottish masonic symbols.
But author Ashley Cowie, whose own book The Rosslyn Templar sheds new light on the chapel’s many secrets, has slammed Brown for writing “fiction not fact” concerning the world-famous church.
Brown’s new book features the symbol of the 33rd degree of the Scottish rite of Freemasonry, the highest rank within the craft in this country, and is widely expected to condemn the first US President George Washington as a traitor.
