What is Rosslyn: The Chapel, Castle and Scenic Lore about?

The purpose of this book is twofold. First, to enable visitors to see as much as possible of Rosslyn Chapel and Rosslyn Castle in a limited time, by making the information clear and concise, so that a good general idea can be obtained at a glance. Second, by enlarging some of the sections with full detail, as in the case of the carvings and ornament, to assist those who have time at their disposal, to understand it more fully. The longer the time spent in this small Chapel the richer the reward, the more deep and lasting the impression of its wonder, its glory and its power. The Ground Plan showing position of pillars and architraves and the groining of the roof of the Lady Chapel, numbered and lettered, and the windows lettered in Roman capitals, is a guide to the section on the Carvings. For a period the Chapel was in an almost ruinous condition, exposed to the ravages of weather and the hand of the spoiler, and it says muchfor the care with which it has since been guarded that the stone fabric is still perfect after five centuries, and that it retains much of its pristine beauty. Rosslyn Chapel has been likened to a Hindu Temple, but there is no need to go to India, or to Greece
