Rosslyn Chapel, the Da Vinci Code, Myths & Mystery by Timberbush Tours

Tour Itinerary

From our starting point by

Edinburgh Castle, we head out

of the city to the village of Roslin,

making our first stop at Rosslyn

Chapel (its worldwide fame

increased thanks to "The Da Vinci

Code", Dan Brown's blockbusting

novel).

Leaving Rosslyn we commence

our journey into the heart of the

Scottish Borders, an area rich in

hills, valleys, rivers and moorland,

as well as the traditional home to

Scottish rugby.We travel to the

historic town of Melrose, birthplace

of the game of Rugby Sevens, and

location of Melrose Abbey, founded

in 660, said to be the burial place of

the casket containing the heart of

Robert the Bruce. Here we stop for

lunch and have free time to explore

Melrose and its Abbey.

On our return journey, we'll travel

via St. Boswells and pause for a

photo stop at Scott's View, where

we can enjoy glorious scenic views.

Our journey north takes us to

Pencaitland, where we visit the

charming Glenkinchie Distillery for

a 'tour and a taste' and learn more

about 'the water of life'. Glenkinchie

is one of few Lowland distilleries

in Scotland. Then we'll return to

Edinburgh.
