Scott's View
Here is a panoramic of Scott's View. So called because this is the view that Sir Walter Scott loved so much and came to see as often as he could.
Rosslyn Chapel
Rosslyn Chapel
Here is the front door of Rosslyn Chapel.  It is undergoing major refurbishment and (re)construction.  From this photo, though, you cannot tell how beautiful the architecture really is (you can see how it is supposed to look by going to their website).  You can actually walk up on the scaffolding to see what they are doing and how much they've done so far!
   
Just inside the entrance, you can start to see the beautiful and ornate carvings that are throughout.  When we walked in from the somewhat cold out-of-doors, it dropped at least 10 degrees. It was like that scene in The Exorcist when they walked into the bedroom!
Rosslyn Chapel - outside
Outside the priest's entrance/foyer. We only saw the chapel in the dark and had only about half an hour to explore so a return visit is in order!
