Milton Bridge

Suzie - Wow!! What a day today was!!! Today, we went on a pre-booked tour that I have been looking forward to for months!!

We started off getting lost even with Google's 'help' and almost missed the tour. Luckily we found where we needed to be (thanks Nik!) and the bus was still there 😀😀

We drove to Rosslyn Chapel to start off with, not far from Edinburgh. Exquisite is the best word I can use, however it doesn't come close. The chapel dates from 1446 and was built by Sir William St Clair. Then the Reformation happened and the Chapel fell into disrepair. In 1650, Oliver Cromwell attacked nearby Rosslyn Castle and stabled his horses in the Chapel. The Chapel again fell into disrepair with the ruins being used by people in the 1800's for picnics and sketching. It's only been relatively recently that the Chapel has been restored to its original glory.

It's just so beautifully stunning and the carvings are amazing. No photography or videography is allowed in the Chapel.Read more
