Rosslyn Chapel and Scottish Borders Small-Group Day Tour from Edinburgh

A day trip from Edinburgh, run for a small group, to Rosslyn Chapel and on through the Tweed Valley to Melrose Abbey. The chapel's legends and its appearance in a well-known film are part of the visit.

This day trip departs from Edinburgh and takes visitors to Rosslyn Chapel, then on into the Scottish Borders. Accounts connect the chapel with the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail, and some people believe it stands on a UFO landing site. The building was also used in the film The Da Vinci Code.

The route continues through the Tweed Valley to Melrose Abbey, which is said to hold the heart of Robert the Bruce, the Scottish king. The day thus combines a chapel with a long-standing mystery and an abbey linked to a royal burial tradition, with countryside in between.

The outing is organised for a small group. It suits people who want to see several places outside the city in one day, and those curious about the chapel's legends or its role in the film.
