Rosslyn Chapel hasn’t exactly languished in obscurity since building began in 1456 – generations of the aristocratic Sinclair family have worshipped there and Queen Victoria visited in 1842 – but after it featured as the backdrop for a pivotal scene in The Da Vinci Code, the 2006 film of American author Dan Brown’s 2003 bestseller of the same name, it’s fair to say the former Collegiate Chapel of St Matthew found fame of the worldwide, household name variety. The kind that brings annual visitor numbers in the tens of thousands.
