Rosslyn Chapel

Here's an article about the restoration of Rosslyn Chapel, that I posted about the other day. They've had scaffolding and an external roof over it since 1997. Restoration was completed late last year, and the scaffolding was removed this January.

I like the part about the bees.

Also, I found an article mentioning that the reason they don't allow photography (since 2007) is that they had people tripping on the uneven floors while glued to their viewfinders.

Wow. Centuries old beehives!

Rosslyn is first thing to see on my Edinburgh return visit list.

Of course, I find myself drooling over the fact that they're finished the restoration....

Those beehives are cool, too. Huh - maybe I should send the link to someone on the board of a chapel that has bees that have come into the walls (they got them out, I think).

And I like the stated reason for no photos on the inside (too bad for you; hopefully there were photos of the inside that you picked up).
