Torphichen Preceptory is a church in the village of Torphichen, West Lothian, Scotland. It comprises the remains of the preceptory (headquarters) of the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of St John of Jerusalem in Scotland. The placename may be Gaelic in origin, e.g., "Tóir Féichín" (the boundary/sanctuary of St Féichín) or Brythonic, e.g., modern Welsh "tref fechan" (little town). The name "Tóir Féichín" with its Gaelic reference to the Boundary/Sanctuary stones set one mile around the village is most likely the true meaning of the village and Preceptory name rather than the modern Welsh which has no historical precedent that overrides the true meaning of those Neolithic sanctuary stones.

  • Bei der Torphichen Preceptory handelte es sich um die einzige Kommende des Malteserordens in Schottland. Von der ehemaligen Klosteranlage ist heute im Wesentlichen noch die Kirche erhalten. Diese befindet sich am Nordostrand der Ortschaft Torphichen in der Council Area West Lothian und wurde 1971 in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Des Weiteren sind sowohl die Gesamtanlage als auch ein Stein auf dem zugehörigen Friedhof als Scheduled Monument klassifiziert. (de)
