Little gem near Edinburgh and our first pitstop for the Scottish Borders road trip. The gloomy sky was just clearing up to give us a nice sunny morning \\ Rosslyn Chapel which is one of the filming locations of The Da Vinci Code. And it is the intricate carvings and the mysteries and symbolism behind them that fascinate people about Rosslyn Chapel, particularly the famous “Apprentice Pillar”. It is so called because, allegedly, a stone mason was handed drawings for the pillar by William St. Clair and then departed for Italy to study the drawings and where the original piece the ideas had come from. Meanwhile, it was an apprentice who produced the extraordinary pillar we see today. Consumed with envy when he returned to find his own apprentice had excelled himself, the mason apparently murdered the apprentice with his mallet! There are now two carvings depicting this event. • • • #throwback #evtravels #rosslynchapel #edinburgh #chuk22 #bbctravel #uk #unitedkingdom #vsco #lightroom #GalaxyS21Ultra #thetravelintern #travelgram #architecture #edinburgh #scotland #visitscotland #passionpassport #evgoestouk (at Rosslyn Chapel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqAzJWRpnM4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
