Beautiful and mysterious Rosslyn Chapel south of Edinburgh. What was actually built was only a small part of what its founder intended before his death in 1484, yet it remains a truly remarkable achievement. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

#OnThisDay 1303:
Outside #Roslin Village, the Scots won a battle against the English in the First War of #Scottish Independence. Though outnumbered by more than two-to-one, the Scottish troops marched all night in order to ambush the English. The Scots “chose death before unworthy subjugation...”

A close-up shot of a dark and textured stone surface featuring a carved triskelion, which is a motif consisting of three interlocked spirals, likely found in Roslin Glen Country Park near Wallace cave. The stone's surface is rough and weathered, with small bits of debris scattered around the carving. The triskelion itself is deeply etched into the stone, with the spirals evenly spaced and connected at the center. To the right of the stone, some ferns and other foliage add a touch of nature to the scene. The overall tone of the image is earthy, highlighting the natural and historical aspects of the location.

Part of the interior of Rosslyn Chapel. The image shows the interior of the end of the chapel with windows on the left and two columns on the right. Another window is directly ahead. There are interpretive panels on stands on the right. Much of the stonework is intricately decorated.

Part of the amazing interior of Rosslyn Chapel, south of Edinburgh. Since its construction began in 1446, the chapel has evoked wonder and surprise with the beauty and intricacy of its stonework. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

A little side trip down some backroads brought me to this beautiful scene. I love finding new places.

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

A real autumnal feel in #Roslin Glen today. The colours are lovely at the moment and it's a great time to visit the famous Da Vinci Code Chapel.
