Also known as St Matthew’s Collegiate Church, but more commonly simply called Rosslyn Chapel. The chapel was founded by Sir William St Clair, the last Prince of Orkney and lord of Rosslyn Castle in 1446. It was heavily damaged in 1592 and restored in 1861. The main feature of this extraordinary building are the intricate and elaborate carvings that seem to adorn every surface. There is simply no medieval building in Britain like Rosslyn.
