8.5 HOURS - Experience history and see the world famous Rosslyn Chapel.

If you want to see and feel history then this is the tour for you.

Heading south towards the Scottish Borders, we will stop at the world famous Scots View (nominated as one of the best views in Britain). Then its on to the town of Melrose where you will have the opportunity to visit its Abbey. This Abbey is one of the four Border Abbeys founded by King David I and is also the burial place of Robert the Bruces Heart. Melrose is the site of the largest Roman camp in Scotland. The Roman Heritage Centre is one of the many things to see in this lovely Borders town.

Leaving Melrose we will travel through Galashiels and North on the A7, driving over the soft rolling hills of the Southern Uplands. There will be a brief stop at Dobbies Gardens Centre for refreshments. Restrooms are also available at this location. Such is the popularity of Dobbies among locals that JK Rowling named one of her most popular characters in the Harry Potter novels after it.

As we arrive at Rosslyn Chapel, please remember that your entrance fee is included within the tour price therefore our guide will make arrangements for your conducted tour.

Rosslyn Chapel is one of the most amazing places you will ever visit. Featured in the best seller The Da Vinci Code and The Hiram Key this chapel is unique and world famous for its beautiful carvings as well as the aura of mystery and magic that surround it. You will hear stories about Freemasonry, Knights Templar, The Holy Grail, Gypsies, Solomon, Babylon and even a Scotsman in America before Columbus all within a 15th Century Chapel that will totally captivate you.

A five minute walk will take you to the ruins of Rosslyn Castle. Walk on the bridge which provided the setting for the penultimate scene in the Da Vinci Movie.

From here we return to Edinburgh.
