rosslyn chapel

Before heading to Edinburgh I drove to the small village of Roslin just south of the city to see the Rosslyn Chapel, a featured setting of the DaVinci Code and an very elaborate chapel. The building was in 1481 and was covered in 1997 to protect it from the elements.

Both inside and out it's covered with very detailed designs. The main ceiling has 4 different motifs. Green men statues are scattered throughout and along a band of sculptured vines that go around the inside of the chapel.

Lady's Chapel

In the back of the main church is the Lady's Chapel with another elaborate ceiling and carvings of thirteen musicians and stain glass windows.
