Rosslyn Chapel is only some 10 miles away. Rosslyn Chapel is unique and famed world wide for the beauty of its carvings and for the aura of mystery and magic that surrounds it.
Built in 1446 by William St. Clair, third and last Prince of Orkney, Rosslyn Chapel conforms neither to contemporary architecture nor to any fashion. Rich in ornament, its exact place in the creation of mankind still remains difficult to estimate. Many Biblical stories are portrayed and there are frequent references to Knights Templar and Freemasonry Equally, there are Pagan symbols and Rosslyn Chapel has the largest number of "Green Men" found in any Medieval building.
Obviously, Rosslyn Chapel is currently extremely popular by anybody interested in following the Holy Grail and The Da Vinci Code book by Dan Brown.
Furthermore, Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsman, the Oscar-winning director and writer of A Beautiful Mind, have reunited to bring Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code to the big screen with a cast headed by Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou, and others.
Produced by Brian Grazer and John Calley, The Da Vinci Code film, begins with a spectacular murder in the Louvre Museum. All clues point to a covert religious organization that will stop at nothing to protect a secret that threatens to overturn 2,000 years of accepted dogma.
