What To Expect

Rosslyn Chapel

Our first stop is Rosslyn Chapel. Scotland’s ‘best-kept secret’ has now achieved worldwide fame since the publication of ‘The Da Vinci Code’. An architectural gem, its superb stone carvings are still not fully understood. Further mystery surrounds the chapel and its association with the Knights Templar and Freemasonry. Many visitors leave with their own theory but all are amazed. The short walk through the glen to ancient Roslin Castle is also fascinating.

1 hour 15 minutes•Admission Not Included

Melrose Abbey

Enjoy lunch in the charming town of Melrose. The stunning ruined Abbey is the final resting place of King Robert the Bruce’s heart.

Loved the trip! I especially enjoyed the commentary from our guide, he was wonderful. I signed on for the trip for Hadrian’s wall but I enjoyed Rosslyn Chapel the most. The Roman road portion was, as they say, very straight, and as a consequence full of ups and downs. If you have a tendency to motion sickness, a Dramamine before the journey might be wise.
Extraordinary experience.

This was a beautiful excursion! At Rosslyn’s Chapel. I would recommend leaving yourself enough time to walk down to the old castle ruins and forest trails. It’s a steep walk but worth it! The bathroom lines took a while there also. Melrose Abbey is under construction but walking around it was still a great experience. Hadrian’s walk is a feat and amazing to think about the work that went into it. Roddy was our guide and he was fun with a vast amount of knowledge which is great combination! He made our excursion very memorable and personal!
