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.

Good thing you saved your visit until after the scaffolding came off!
