Dan Brown’s ‘Da Vinci Code’ illicits strong feelings from most people and our newest expert, Bill Mcdonnell is no exception. His first review for us is of Rosslyn Chapel, which you probably already know features in the book, and if you like the book you probably shouldn’t read our review because he’s debunked some of Dan’s code… He, like Dan’s characters, was fascinated by the intricate carvings.
I visited Rosslyn on a chilly, grey afternoon in 2006 and was totally charmed by the detailed stories crawling all over the walls. I was also lucky enough to attend a service there, something I would add to Bill’s recommendation. I would also advise going late in the day (apparently the Dan Brown buses are there in the mornings… you can probably guess which way my feelings for the book tend.).
