A Trip To Scotland

I just returned from a fabulous trip to Scotland - absolutely stunning geography, forests, castles, restaurants, etc.


We visited Roslyn Chapel, a location in the Da Vinci Code, which was in incredibly bad taste - frescoed and decorative plaster to the max.
The most interesting and funny aspect of the Chapel was the sign a Scot entrepreneur had next to the parking lot- "Da Vinci Code bull... - Ten pound bags for fifty cents"


While at Edinburgh Castle I visited St. Margaret's chapel, which was stunning in its simplicity.

Located at the very centre of Edinburgh Castle and at the highest point of Castle Rock is the tiny Norman Chapel dedicated to St. Margaret (1045-93) wife of King Malcolm III (c.1031-93). The chapel was most likely completed between 1110-20 by her youngest son, King David I (c.1080 - 1153), but there it is some evidence that it was built on top of an earlier chapel in which Margaret herself may have worshipped.
