The tour
From the start point by Edinburgh Castle the tour heads out of the city to the unassuming little village of Roslin, site of Rosslyn Chapel, the 'Chapel of Codes', with its Templar and Freemasonry associations; featured in Dan Brown's blockbusting novel The Da Vinci Code.
You'll visit the mystical and mysterious Rosslyn Glen, the ancient castle of the same name, ancestral home of the Sinclairs, and nearby battlefield where a Scots army defeated three English armies in the same day!
Leaving Rosslyn the tour passes Temple village, once the home of the Knights Templar in Scotland, with its ancient Kirk and cryptic engravings; whilst in the afternoon there's a visit to Glenkinchie distillery - a rarity, a Lowland Malt Distillery - for a 'Tour & a Taste' before journey's end back in Edinburgh.
This tour is run by Timberbush Tours, who have been awarded 5 stars from the Scottish Tourist Board for their tours. Please note the tour price does NOT include entry to Rosslyn Chapel or the distillery.
