Some sources claim that after their order was outlawed the Templar fleet left France and headed for Scotland and Portugal. Scotland - under Bruce - had been excommunicated as well and the Templars were welcomed. It is said that they even fought at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, although there seems to be disagreement between the Knight Templar from France and the Order that was set up in Scotland either under Bruce or James II.
