Templar stones (Inchinnan)

3D Model

Project commissioned by Inchinnan Historical Interest Group. Funded by Historic Environment Scotland and Heritage Lottery Fund.

These ten gravestones are thought to date from the 12th to the 17th centuries and are an important part of the history of the Inchinnan area. The stones with the ridged tops may have been Knights Templar stones. The decoration on the stones is worn, but some carved swords, tools and decorative lines are still visible. The stones were moved to Inchinnan New Parish Church from the nearby site of the Old Inchinnan Church in the 1960s when the old church was demolished to make way for the expansion of Glasgow Airport and the new church was built.
