The secrets of Scotland's Rosslyn Chapel have remained hidden for centuries. After a decade of research, two Scottish historians have pieced together the real story. Millions of people worldwide became familiar with the mystery of Rosslyn through Dan Brown's blockbuster novel The Da Vinci Code, and hundreds of thousands have since travelled there to marvel at its magnificent carvings and to wonder if some fabulous treasure lay buried beneath its medieval walls. Pseudo-history writers, Grail seekers, and conspiracy theorists claim that the secret history of the Holy Bloodline of Christ, the Ark of the Covenant, the embalmed head of Jesus, and the legendary treasure of the Knights Templar are all buried under Rosslyn Chapel. But what is the truth? Did the Templars really escape to Scotland? Does the enchanted White Lady of Rosslyn actually guard the Holy Grail? Was the chapel built to hide the Treasure of the Temple of Jerusalem?

Rosslyn and the Grail
For those seeking conspiracy theories or confirmation that the Holy Grail is in fact hidden at Rosslyn Chapel, this book is not for you. Rather, this debunks popular theories that have developed over the centuries and presents the actual history of Rosslyn and the St. Clair family who founded the remarkable and enigmatic chapel. Sure, there are plenty of local legends in its history, including mythical creatures of Scotland and variations on the Arthurian legends. There were also significant historical figures who are affiliated with Rosslyn like Robert the Bruce, Joan of Arc and Mary Queen of Scots. People seeking riddles and codes among Rosslyn Chapel's hundreds of carvings will be disappointed to discover that there is a logical outline to these images that combine biblical chronology, the life of Christ and a celebration of nature. The narrative was often bogged down with the lineages of the St. Clairs, various local dialects and a myriad of names of people and locations. Readers interested in Scottish lore may benefit from the appendices. Overall, I did think it effectively outlined a concise history of Rosslyn and demystified this astonishing piece of architecture and art, but it could have been written in a more engaging way.
