Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
St Matthew's Chapel, also known as Rosslyn Chapel is located just outside the village of Roslin, roughly 7 miles from the centre of Edinburgh. It was established in the mid 15th century by Sir William St Clair, Prince of Orkney. Sir William St Clair died before the project could be completed, and what exists now is a fraction of the original cruciform plan. The chapel draws many visitors, and is famous for its ornately carved interior and its association with the Knights Templar, a mediaeval Christian military order which has recently been the subject of some popular fascination.
