Rosslyn Chapel

One of Scotland's most remarkable buildings, Rosslyn Chapel has been in the ownership of our family since its foundation in 1446 and is still used today as a place of worship.
Work started on this amazing building in the mid 15th century. It was to be a cruciform church with a central tower, part of the college set up by William Sinclair, 3rd Earl of Orkney.

St Margaret's Chapel

St Margaret's Chapel is the chapel of Edinburgh Castle. This example of Norman architecture is the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh, probably built in the early 12th century. St Margaret's Chapel fell into disrepair during the Protestant Reformation and then served as a powder keg from the 16th century until the mid 19th century when Sir Daniel Wilson undertook the restoration of the building with the support of Queen Victoria. In 1929, further work was carried out to return the chapel to worship, consecrated on 16 March 1934.
