Visitor Information
Rosslyn Chapel took over 40 years to build and was incomplete when Sir William St Clair, the founder, died in 1484. The beauty of its setting and the mysterious symbolism of its ornate stonework have inspired, attracted and intrigued artists, writers and visitors ever since.
Often described as a 'treasure in stone', practically every surface inside and outside this unique building is carved in an outstanding display of craftsmanship, including angels, Green Men and the famous Apprentice Pillar. You can use our free carvings map to discover these remarkable features and find out more at one of the talks given by our Guides during each timeslot.
Please use the information below to help plan your visit. Please note that only assistance dogs are allowed on site including the Chapel grounds, visitor centre and coffee shop.
We look forward to welcoming you soon!
