Rosslyn Whole Day Tour  
Ruins at Rosslyn / Roslin Castle

"On Sept. 27th we went on a day tour to Rosslyn Chapel and other attractions with Jackie and four other "tourists". However, we did not feel like tourists at all because this was like a wonderful day spent with good friends to see and explore ancient cultures and follow their trail. This was a spectacular and unforgettable experience." Thordis Kristjansdottir and Magnus Jonsson , Iceland

 I think I will never forget the magic in the Rosebank Forest. A piece of its spirit attched itself to me and will always be here with me. I hope to one day come back and spent lots of time there..I sure was awestuck by your tour. I absolutely loved it. Thank-you. Melinda Cook, California

This original and select trail culminates at Rosslyn where you will be better informed to appreciate its design and siting by having seen the other sites. Jackie's explanation of the chapel is steeped in her long experience of guiding and writing about the chapel in terms of its many sacred aspects. Her books are popular sellers at the chapel.

Rosslyn Castle towers over Roslin Glen, the river North Esk winding its way seawards like a snake uncoiling. We follow a route along Roslin Glen that is a delight to explore, noting natural and man-made features that are significant historically and in terms of earth energies.. (PLEASE WEAR WALKING SHOES)

En route to Rosslyn Chapel from Edinburgh , we pass by a cemetery that was linked with the Sinclairs, Earls of Rosslyn. Here in the last few decades some Templar stones were discovered, the best two examples being moved to the crypt at Rosslyn Chapel for safeguarding. This burial site is intersected with ley lines that can bedetected with dowsing rods. Opportunities to dowse are provided if interested, even if you are a complete novice!.

We visit the sites where the Knights Templar and Cistercian monks were based close by Roslin, set amidst other sites that indicate that the ancient knowledge that the St Clairs were privy to can still be traced in the landscape today, as Jackie's recent colour booklet describes in simple terms. (more details here) Midlothian as a region is highly significant within Scotland and influenced its history immensely.
