Description

Practically every surface of Rosslyn Chapel is covered in carvings, but you will find only one inscription in the whole building.

Written in Latin, it translates as: ‘Wine is strong. The King is stronger. Women are stronger still: but truth conquers all’.

These words arose from a trial of wisdom of the biblical King Darius.  The King judged each of the statements, declaring ‘truth’ to be the strongest of all.

This black ink ballpen is produced exclusively for Rosslyn Chapel by Judges in the UK
