Rosslyn Chapel – Chapel Loan, Rosslyn, EH25 9PU This is our own experience with this business, and we know different clients will have different experiences — but we always leave reviews based on the service we received when we ordered or visited. First Impressions Rosslyn Chapel is truly breathtaking from the moment you arrive. The building itself is stunning, full of character and history, and the visitor reception area is modern, welcoming, and well thought out. Free parking right outside is a huge bonus, and the electric car charging points are a thoughtful addition. Cleanliness & Safety Concerns The entire site — including the chapel, visitor centre, and tea room — was clean, tidy, and clearly well maintained. Pathways and indoor areas felt safe, and the organisation of the visitor flow made for a smooth and comfortable visit. Food Quality The Coffee shop offers a lovely place to sit and unwind after exploring the chapel. Although we didn’t sample much this time, the selection looked appealing and well presented. We’ll definitely try more on our next visit. Ambience & Surroundings The combination of the chapel’s historic atmosphere and the peaceful surroundings creates a magical experience. Inside the chapel, the intricate carvings and architecture are absolutely mesmerising. The grounds are tranquil and perfect for taking your time to appreciate the site’s beauty. Service & Atmosphere The staff were exceptional. Everyone we encountered was friendly, helpful, and genuinely passionate about Rosslyn Chapel. A special thank you to the lady in the main chapel who took the time to explain so much of the building’s history — her knowledge and enthusiasm added so much depth to the visit, and we truly appreciated her insights. Facilities The visitor reception area includes a well-stocked gift shop and a cosy coffee room. The free parking and electric vehicle charging points are fantastic amenities. Everything is easy to navigate, and the facilities are modern and convenient. We’re already looking forward to returning with our children, who will absolutely love exploring the history and stories behind the chapel. Thank you to all the staff — we hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I hope this honest review helps others make an informed decision.

My second visit to this beautiful and atmospheric medieval chapel, while on a coach holiday in Scotland. Our visit was in a 90 minute timed slot (between 3.30 and 5.00pm), allowing us plenty of time to look around. Adult admission is £11.50, concessions £9.50, and children go free. We entered through a modern visitor centre just a few strides from the free car park. The exterior of the chapel is impressive enough, with its ornate pinnacles, statues and fearsome gargoyles. But the interior is absolutely stunning! The ceiling, arches and columns are all covered with intricate religious and symbolic carvings of saints and demons, plants and animals, angels and green men. Some beautiful stained glass too. Despite the throngs of tourists, this chapel had an air of wonder, mystery and legend. At 4.00pm, a guide gave us all a lively and entertaining 20 minute talk about the chapel's history - and the shocking story of the Apprentice's Pillar! - and we were also given a free map to help us find the most interesting carvings. You need to watch your step because the floor is uneven in places. A long steep staircase (with a rail) leads down into the crypt where some of "The Da Vinci Code" was filmed. No photography is allowed inside the chapel, but outside is fine! It's worth visiting the small museum in the visitor centre to learn more about the history and restoration. There's a lovely gift shop, toilets, and a café where you can get snacks, scones, and hot and cold drinks. An architectural treasure not to be missed!

Really interesting visit. Easy to find, lots of parking which was free. Lovely surroundings. Extremely helpful staff. The guides in the chapel were very knowledgeable and their presentation during the visit times lot was extremely entertaining. The chapel itself is enchanting and well worth seeing for yourself up close with so many years of mystery built into its fabric.

Ever since I arrived in the UK, I dreamed of visiting two sacred places for my soul: Stonehenge and Rosslyn Chapel. I felt their calling like points of light on the map of a personal initiation.** A few days ago, I took advantage of a reunion with a dear friend in Edinburgh, and together we set off for Roslin. We visited the famous chapel – a mysterious place, full of symbols – and I took a few photographs... until I noticed a small sign in a shadowy corner: "Photography prohibited." Still, I had the joy of speaking with a volunteer deeply passionate about the history of the place. We exchanged ideas, and I felt a gateway to deeper knowledge quietly opening before us. The energy inside the chapel reminded me of certain Dacian sacred sites, yet here the feeling was denser, heavier – as if many silences had gathered between the stones. The crypt, however, conveyed something entirely different. That’s where I felt the true heart of the place. I believe it was the first structure built, and the most important – not by chance. There are a few objects displayed there that, to those who know how to look, reveal the chapel's role as a space of initiation. What drew me most were the two famous pillars: the **Master's Pillar** and the **Apprentice's Pillar**, both echoing the Legend of Hiram and Solomon's Temple. The carved messages are alive – alive like runes still whispering. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting this place – but not blindly. Go prepared. For if you do not know what you are seeking, you will pass by the mystery as you would a cold, lifeless wall.

An easily accessible wonder of stone carving. Good Parking and more history in the local castle and glen to fill your day. A welcoming cafe and friendly guides help you make sense of all the intricacies and theories surrounding this chapel. Always popular but not always too busy. If you let the bus parties pass on their way you can have it to yourself.
