Rosslyn Chapel

Access  Very Good, Parking just outside

Exspensive to get in but really worth it
Brilliant on a wet day

Toilets
It's a busy tourist attraction but really worth the visit, I don't think you can take photos inside

Of course this is the chapel featured in Da Vinci's Code, I saw it many many years before the book or film so I guess it's even more popular now!
