Full of symbolism, Rosslyn Chapel may be small, but will easily make you stay longer than you expected.
The most prominent sight, however, is the Apprentice Pillar: a curiously curved pillar in the eastern side of Rosslyn Chapel. According to legend, the mason who had already finished a pillar was sent to Italy to study a certain style that appealed to William St. Clair. After a while, an apprentice mason told William he had had a dream about a pillar, and since the mason had not returned, William granted the apprentice the favour to sculpt the pillar. However, when the mason returned and saw the pillar, he killed the apprentice in a fit of rage and envy. On the opposite wall, you can see several sculpted heads: the one diagonally opposite the Apprentice Pillar is said to represent the mason, whose eternal punishment for killing the apprentice is that he has to see the pillar. Considering the queer and interesting design of the pillar, with dragons at its base and vines sculpted all around it, there are much worse things to look at. Joining the pillar, an inscription in an architrave states that "wine is strong, a king is stronger, women are stronger still, but truth conquers all". Next to this architrave there is one depicting the seven sins and seven virtues. There are boxes protruding from arches and pillars, every one of them with a pattern. It has recently been claimed these represent a musical store. Likewise, walking around Rosslyn Chapel is like a puzzle: there are so many large and small sculptures and sculpted details to be found - all with their story and explanation. Or lack of it.
