Description

Built in the second half of the 15th century as a family chapel and later restored during Victorian times, Rosslyn Chapel is one of the most ornate churches in Scotland, although it was never completed as it was originally designed. Features on the exterior include this series of six buttressed columns topped with stone spires, with delicate stained glass windows in the bays. The intricacy of the highly-decorated stonework coupled with the rich yellows and reds of the local rock quarried to construct the chapel make Rosslyn one of the most beautiful historic churches you will ever see. The interior is equally awe-inspiring, however photography is not allowed inside.
