Excerpt from Rosslyn: The Chapel, Castle and Scenic Lore Lothian's fair and fertile strand And Pentland's mountains blue. The Pentland hills beckon with their intriguing contours and glorious colours towards the Mecca of Rosslyn. Like the city itself the surrounding country side is full of glamour and romance. 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.
