Edinburgh Castle/Rosslyn Chapel

This morning we had a local tour guide take us around Edinburgh. We ended up at Edinburgh Castle. This is the royal quarters of the castle.

The castle sits on the core of an ancient volcano overlooking the city. This is a view of the city from the castle.

Wherever medieval times are revered there are those who study the occult. Edinburgh is not an exception. This shop is near the castle walls.

This afternoon we had an excursion to Rosslyn Chapel. Work on Rosslyn began in 1448 and took over 40 years to complete. Heavily damaged by protestant reformers in the 1580s it is now being restored. Rosslyn features prominently in Dan Brown’s popular book the DaVinci Code.
