Rosslyn Chapel, Roslin Castle , bridges, seaworld

we really enjoyed our trip to Rosslyn, Chapel, castle and the little Village....We could not take any photo's inside but we did get a short documentary by a lovely lady ...the chapel is still used today. It was founded in 1446 it has been in the same family St. Claire since that time, passed down ...imagine that I have a book with a picture of the Family that owns it today it is cared for by a trust ...The story is very long and you may like to check it out at http://www.rosslynchapel.org.uk/ 
The Rosslyn Chapel very beautiful no photo's inside

  2. It was so beautiful inside like a work of art everywhere you looked ...my neck was sore from looking up...i wanted to lie on my back on the floor. Good a bit of a shiver while sitting in the pew ...I would go back again when there were not so many people...the Lady that was telling the story said they never use to be so busy then when the movie Angels and Demons was made the tourists flocked to it I think she said 1997...
