Rosslyn Chapel from Edinburgh
Rosslyn Chapel is a unique 15th century chapel on the outskirts of Edinburgh. The historic site of Rosslyn is a must-see on your Scottish Tour. Kings & Queens, poets and artists have been frequent visitors through the centuries. Rosslyn Chapel’s original design was on a grander scale. The intention was for the Chapel to be visible from miles around. The family’s vision never reached that grand scale. This takes nothing away from the incredible architecture. Rosslyn Chapel is an unforgettable stop on a tour of Scotland.

Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria could not believe the dilapidated state of the chapel on a visit in 1842.
She “encouraged” the Earl of Rosslyn to save the by now crumbling sandstone chapel for the nation, after all the chapel survived the violence and terrible destruction of the 1500s.

Guided Tours to Rosslyn Chapel
The history, legend and mystery that surrounds Rosslyn Chapel are incredible. Oliver Cromwell even used the chapel to stable horses in 1650. Henry VIII attacked Rosslyn and the Scottish Army defeated a huge English force in 1303, during the Wars of Independence.
The Chapel at Rosslyn remained remarkably unharmed, but as the centuries past, Rosslyn was being defeated. Not by human hand but by the Scottish weather.
The chapel once so loved and admired was by now windowless, crumbling and being constantly battered by blizzards and howling gales ( normal Scottish Summer weather)
