- Ashley_Cowie abstract "Ashley Cowie (born 1973) is a Scottish historian, author, photographer, TV host and producer who started out studying photography before returning to his homelands of Caithness in the north coast of Scotland. Beginning in 1993, Cowie explored the landscapes of Caithness and over the following decade he discovered many pre-historic artefacts including Meolithic & Neolithic flint scatters and carved stones. In 2000, Cowie was involved in field walking projects in Caithness which revealed lithic scatters around the shores of Loch Watten and Yarrows, which was new evidence of early prehistoric settlement in Caithness. He went on to discover some of the first flint tools from the Mesolithic lithic scatter at Oliclett in the Yarrows basin which became one of the most significant archeological digs in British history. Cowie began presenting his work in up-beat lectures on the International Science Festival in Orkney where his lecture entitled The Rope Age received a standing ovation from over 100 of the worlds most acclaimed professors of archaeology. After this lecture, Cowie was elected as a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and his work was featured in several Scotsman Newspaper features.Between 2002 and 2009, Cowie was privately commissioned to conduct research projects at various historic locations and during this time his discoveries in the architecture and symbols of Rosslyn Chapel were published in the best selling "The Book of Hiram", where he is credited for having discovered one of the earliest mapping systems known to date. In his own books, The Rosslyn Matrix (2007) and The Rosslyn Templar (2009), he detailed the possible connections between the Clan Sinclair, the chapel and the activities of the Knights Templar.
