La Capilla de Rosslyn, un impresionante ejemplo de arquitectura gótica diseñado por William Sinclair, primer conde de Caithness, se ha mantenido orgullosa desde 1446, justo a las afueras de Edimburgo. Conocida por sus impresionantes matices naturales de piedra rosa y dorada, la capilla cautiva a los visitantes con intrincadas tallas llenas de significado histórico. Los hermosos vitrales realzan aún más su belleza atemporal. Con una impresionante calificación de Google de 4.7, los visitantes a menudo alaban las charlas informativas de 30 minutos dadas por guías apasionados y la disponibilidad de un folleto que resalta las características clave de la capilla. La exuberante vegetación circundante añade a su atmósfera serena, convirtiéndola en un lugar ideal para una salida familiar. Fácilmente accesible en autobús y con estacionamiento gratuito, la capilla asegura una visita conveniente para todos. No te pierdas la encantadora tienda de regalos y el café, pero ten en cuenta que no se permite la fotografía en el interior, garantizando así la preservación de sus delicadas obras de arte.

Visita recomendable. No se pueden sacar fotos en el interior, lo que no es malo. Hay muchos detalles que observar en capiteles y paredes. Recomiendo leer la historia antes de la visita. Desde el centro de Edimburgo (Princess Street) el 37 lleva hasta una parada a unos 200 metros de la capilla. En el centro de visitantes hay una cafetería con lo mínimo para un refrigerio o una comida ligera. El viaje dura al rededor de una hora, por las paradas del autobús. Pero es un viaje agradable y barato. A unos 500 o 700 metros de la capilla están los restos de un castillo. No queda mucho pero los alrededores son preciosos. También hay un típico cementerio tras la capilla. Una visita para ocupar toda una mañana y volver a la hora del té.

Rosslyn Chapel is a very unique place. Historical, mystical, spiritual built with accomplished masonry and conspiracy abides. The Chapel is quite a small space inside but magnificent. The skill of the masonry work and years of toil and artistry put into the Chapel is amazing. It can be visually overwhelming and over stimulating when you first step inside as their is so much to marvel at. I recommend taking your time and putting your observational goggles on. I would also recommend reading about the Chapel masonry to know for points of interest to look for. There are very knowledgeable staff who are friendly and happy to answer your questions. Just to make you aware NO PHOTOGRAPHY is permitted inside any part of the Chapel. There is signage at the door making you aware of this and quite often the staff will politely forbid people who break the code inside, no pun intended. During my visit, a very knowledgeable member of staff called Brian gathered an audience and told the story of Rosslyns timeline like a well versed poet. He was an excellent story teller and was very engaging and enthusiastic. It was all very fascinating and interesting. He started his story from the founding of the chapel by William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness in 1456 to the present day restorations, popularity of Dan Brown's grandiose story, The Da Vinci Code in 2003 and the troubles of the turbulant medieval period. I would highly recommend staying around for this talk. Check with the friendly staff when these talks are given. Rosslyn has a very good gift shop at the entry/exit before the Chapel. Everything from books, to ornaments, keyring, to magnets, pictures to tote bags and so much more. There are also clean single, unisex toilets and a cafe with a good selection of food and hot and cold drinks. There are benches outside the Chapel to relax and enjoy looking at the Chapel and there are stunning views over looking Rosslyn glen. Overall, a fulfilling and fascinating experience. I would highly recommend a visit to Rosslyn chapel.

Visiting Rosslyn Chapel was a highlight of a recent trip to Scotland. The guides were extremely knowledgable and happy to share their love of Scottish history. The children’s leaflet was the perfect way to keep everyone engaged.
