We were very interested in what we read in The Da Vinci Code about Rosslyn Chapel. The Templar and pre-Christian imagery and the encrypted references to the Holy Grail and Freemasonry were intriguing, so we put Rosslyn on our must-visit list for our trip to the UK.
It was just our luck that our host in Scotland lives so close. We took an afternoon trip down to the outskirts of Edinburgh, following a country road through some quaint towns to the chapel.
The experience did not disappoint. Rosslyn Chapel is full of intricate carvings depicting haunting visages, macabre stories, and a wide variety of religious belief systems. The stained glass was detailed beyond anything I've ever seen.
