A selfie in Roslin Glen, showing me next to a moss-covered stone carving of a fish-like head with deep-set eyes, a wide mouth, and an elongated, bearded appearance. The weathered carving is partially embedded in the rock, surrounded by lush greenery and ferns, blending into the natural landscape.
This mysterious carving has sparked debate—some believe it is Neolithic, dating back thousands of years, while others suggest it originates from the early 1200s, possibly linked to medieval stonemasons or early Templar legends in the area. The location itself, Roslin Glen, is steeped in history, close to Rosslyn Chapel, which has long been associated with myths, secret carvings, and hidden messages.
The eerie resemblance between the carving and my face makes this discovery even more amusing—was this an ancient warning, a lost piece of medieval art, or something else entirely? Whatever its origin, it’s a fascinating hidden gem of Scottish history.
Hidden in Roslin Glen is this fishhead carving! 🐟 Some say it’s Neolithic, but I think it’s from the early 1200s. Either way, it’s old… and we kinda do look alike, don’t we? 😆 #History #AncientScotland #HiddenGems #ScottishMystery #Roslin #Archaeology #ScotlandExplored #LegendaryScotland
