Stirling Local Tourist Attractions and Vacations

Below you'll find just some of the most popular local tourist attractions in and around Scotlands newest city, Stirling. For more attractions, go to the bottom of the page and click on one of the tourism links.

Rosslyn Chapel - Tom Hanks and the Da Vinci Code

Rosslyn Chapel found true fame in the novel by Dan Brown, the Da Vinci Code. This beautiful and mysterious chapel can be found just 7 miles South of Edinburgh and is within easy driving distance from Neidpath Bed and Breakfast. The chapel construction began in 1446 when the founder Sir William St Clair employed workers to create this wonderful gothic building. The work commenced for over 40 years until Sir William's death.

However, the 15th Century stone work is still in excellent condition to this day and over 100,000 visitors come to the site every year. Why not spend a day at Rosslyn Chapel whilst staying at the Neidpath Bed and Breakfast? A great opportunity to take some time to absorb the history, folklore and amazing carvings that are on show. A particular highlight is the "Apprentices Pillar"...legend has it that the master mason's apprentice carved the pillar while his master was away on a long journey. The master returned and when he saw the fine work of his apprentice, he flew into a jealous rage and killed him. There are many other carvings including one thought to be the heart of Robert The Bruce (of Braveheart fame). We shall be updating our gallery with photographs of Rosslyn Chapel soon. more info......
