Each timeslot includes a talk in English from one of our own Guides. We therefore ask that any other talks from external Guides are given outside
Rosslyn Chapel has a team of very knowledgeable guides who provide information talks in English, rather than guided tours, throughout the day. There is no additional charge for these.
No. Since the beginning of 2008, there has been no photography or video allowed inside the building to prevent inconvenience to other visitors. However, photography and video is allowed around the exterior of the Chapel for personal use.
The only scheduled days the Chapel is closed to visitors are 24th, 25th December and 1st January. Because the Chapel is a working church, there may also be occasions when the Chapel will be closed for short periods without much advanced notice (funerals, weddings etc). We advise that you check the news section of the website for up-to-date closures.
Visits are based on different timeslots throughout the day.
From Monday to Saturday, our first timeslot begins at 9am and lasts for 90 minutes. The last timeslot starts at 3.40 and finishes at 5.10pm
On Sunday, the first timeslot starts at 12noon and the last one starts at 3.20pm.
