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.
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.

5.00it is a long drive to Hadrians Wall, but worth the trip! Our guide, Evan, was a wealth of knowledge and shared his country with us. Exploring Rosslyn Chapel and hearing the guide explain liberties taken by Dan Brown were fascinating, but you still wonder...stone with knights temple is really there.
Excellent way to visit Hadrian's Wall and historic sights.

5.005* Despite a long 10h journey our guide ,Angela, was so informative and entertaining that the day flew by and we learnt and discovered so many things despite being Scottish ourselves.A top class guide which motivates us to use Viator again.

5.00Angela was a great guide. Well organized. Rosslyn Chapel is a great day out of Edinburgh if you have the time. Great stonework and history. A highlight of our week in Scotland. Hadrian’s wall Visit is at old Roman fort site. Another worth it.
Wonderful day filled with great sites and guide

5.00First off - Roddy made this tour a better than 5 star experience. He was kind, thoughtful, knowledgable- helping us learn in a fun way … oh and great driver too! Next, pace and elements selected and time for visits was perfect. We never felt rushed anywhere. The combination of the historical sites provided a very good picture of Scottish and English border history when combined with Roddy’s narrative. Definitely recommend!! Can’t wait to do another tour with Heart of Scotland.
