Spectacular panoramic quicktime images of Rosslyn Chapel by Jonathan Greet.
Meanwhile here’s a piece about Rosslyn and The Grail, what ought to be an interesting new book about the meaning of Rosslyn’s elaborate carvings co-authored by SA ally Mark Oxbrow and Ian Robertson.
“”We’ve shown that it’s a Christian place of worship – not Pagan, as has been said – and that’s confirmed by the way the building has been built. Traditionally, the foundations of all buildings began in the north-east which is symbolic of the day starting in the east.
“The carvings remain youthful in the east and progress in age towards the north, as the north in Scottish tradition is associated with death and winter. It comes full circle, beginning with carvings of an angel in the east opening a book, and finishing with an angel with a closed book – the end of the story. ”
