Rosslyn Chapel

Rosslyn Chapel

In the crypt ... KING OF TERRORS
There was a break in the weather today so, on a whim, we drove through to Edinburgh and on to the world-famous Rosslyn Chapel.   Don't try and read everything about it .... the first paragraph gives you an idea of what it is about.  In was an interesting ruin with 30,000 visitors a year until 2006 and when they used it for the film 'The Da Vinci Code'.  Suddenly they were overwhelmed with 160,000 visitors!  And it's been like that ever since.

In reality, it is a pretty small old church with a curious history going back 500 years.  Is it interesting? As a lesson in human stupidity and gullibility ... Yes.
