Rosslyn Chapel
Prominently featured in the Da Vinci Code, this ornate medieval chapel is shrouded in mystery.
About
Founded in the mid-15th century, Rosslyn Chapel is an artistic masterpiece, with nearly every surface completely covered in intricate carvings, but it’s the strange symbolism that’s been captivating curious minds for centuries. One father-son duo believe the hundreds of intricately carved stone boxes protruding from the pillars represent the patterns formed by vibrating powder. There are also over 110 carvings of "Green Men", which might represent pagan deities, and shapes are said to be corn, even though Columbus hadn’t yet set sail for the New World. Then there’s the famed ‘Apprentice Pillar’, a masterfully carved column said to have been made by an apprentice mason who was murdered by his master in a fit of jealousy - as punishment the master’s face was carved in the opposite wall to forever gave upon his apprentice’s handiwork. However, the juiciest mystery is the chapel’s mysterious crypt and the secret Templar treasure, which could be anything from Jesus’ head to the original Scottish Crown Jewels.
