Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Roslin or Rosslyn Chapel Founded in the early 15th century by Wm. St.Clair, Earl of Orkney, this is truly a magical building associated with the Knights Templar. The Holy Grail is said to be buried here. A claim used by Dan Brown in his book,"The Da Vinci Code" which was filmed here. The interior has magnificent stone carvings and, amongst its mysteries, carvings of a maize plant done before the discovery of America. For many years the roof has been covered in scaffolding and plastic sheeting in an attempt to dry out the stonework. This old photo shows the building before this restoration was started. The exterior is, in my view, not attractive but the interior is truly outstanding.If visiting I recommend taking binoculars to view the elaborate carvings covering the entire ceiling. It is still used as an Episcopalian church. |
