Interesting article in The Scotsman (Scotsman.com), by Sarah Howden, Opening the door to the real Rosslyn, concerning the history/genealogy of Rosslyn Chapel, which has been in the news a lot over the past several years, partly due to Dan Brown’s novel, The Da Vinci Code, but also due to various conspiracy theories that predated the book. It covers a new book coming out by Mark Oxbrow and Ian Robertson, Rosslyn and The Grail, which is about the history of the chapel. Interesting read if your into studying the genealogy of buildings.
