Rosslyn Chapel

---

I bought a bus pass yesterday which gives me unlimited travel on the buses. It is only good for a week but I can add another week to it. It also lets me go on the bus to the airport so I will take the bus there when I leave for Paris. Today though I took the bus out of town and into a small, suburb I guess, called Roslin, Which is where the famous Rosslyn Chapel is. I have not read the DaVinci Code, or seen the movie so I don't really know anything about that. It is a beautiful working chapel though. There was a talk where the lady pointed out some interesting designs and told a few stories. There is actually not much in the way of written and authenticated history about the Chapel. No pictures were allowed inside so I only have a few covert pictures of the celing, which I thought was lovely, and some pictures of the crypt.
After my visit to the Chapel I went for a wee walk to the Rosslyn Chapel. (Notice the scottish!!) It was a lovely sunny day although the wind made it a bit chilly!

It looks like a chute that waste was poured out of from the castle.

A Beautiful Day
The sun does shine sometimes...although it was also windy today.

The presence of the Indian corn raises many questions as it originates from North America, a country traditionally thought to have been discovered by Columbus in 1492, almost 50 years after Rosslyn Chapel was built.
