I was there in 2010 and thought the details were amazing. I spent a long time in there despite it being a small church (relatively speaking). But I’m curious as to how you managed to get such close up shots of the details. I would have loved to take photos of the interior for my travel scrapbook but was completely banned from taking any shots inside and the “no photography” rule was strictly enforced.

Great pics, Matt. I have yet to make my way out to Scotland, but when I do I’ll definitely try to make my way out to this chapel. I’m always intrigued by incredible stone carvings and all the stories and mystery would just be icing on the cake.

Hi Matt,
It’s just so odd that I was just watching on tv – History Channel, in fact – abour underground Scotland. Apparently, there is a mining town some x (not sure about the number) miles away, where in 2002, they dug up an underground ‘house’ with several chambers. They showed the entire house made of cut-out / chipped limestone, including the tables. In some rooms, they found the masonic compass insignia etched on the stone blocks / rooms. Then, they found a suspicious-looking tunnel which was all blocked up with stones. Engineers and archaeologists warned them not to dig or remove stones because it leads to a major street above ground plus they suspect the direction it takes is towards Rosslyn Chapel! Awesome!
Apologies for the long comment.

wonderful pictures Matt, and a place that I want to see this summer, for its reputed beauty and its tranquil location (not the Ban Drown connection!). The picture of the spiral column is stunning.
