Here in North Ayrshire there are theories that Kilwinning Abbey could be the final resting place of the Holy Grail as it is said that the town and surrounding area was home to a high concentration of Knights Templar. A few years ago there was more speculation that the Holy Grail may indeed still be in Kilwinning, resulting in some previously neglected back gardens being introduced to gardening equipment previously lying abandoned in garden sheds. - all to no avail, I must add!
Next to the Abbey is Mother Lodge No 0, the oldest established Masonâs lodge in the world although the present building only dates back to 1893.

When visiting Jimmy Page the butler disappears and I hear Pages squeaky voice saying: show him to the armoury. I know the armoury is on the first floor so I leg it up there only to find other celebs hanging around hopefully. So I grab a geetar, do a couple of the loudest twangs only to get thrown out.

The film âOn the Beachâ was set here.
Starring Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner.
As she said âOn the beach is a story about the end of the world and Melbourne sure is the right place to film itâ.
