Why is Rosslyn such a magnet?

Wednesday August 25, 2004

THE TILLS ARE ringing at Rosslyn Chapel, probably the most extravagantly carved church in Scotland - and certainly the most fantastically endowed with myths, pseudo-history and controversy. A place of pilgrimage for freemasons, latter-day Templars, UFO spotters, ley-liners and crypto-historians seeking everything from scrolls containing the lost teachings of Christ to the Holy Grail, the chapel, nestling in the Midlothian village of Roslin, has become a destination for aficionados of The Da Vinci Code, the mystical thriller by Dan Brown which has sold more than eight million copies worldwide and which climaxes at Rosslyn.
