The Apprentice Pillar, Rosslyn Chapel

Rosslyn Chapel, originally named the Collegiate Chapel of St Mathew is a 15th century Episcopal church in the village of Roslin. The chapel was designed by William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness, a noble family descended from Norman knights.

Construction of the chapel began in 1440, and the chapel was officially founded in 1446, with construction lasting for forty years.

It has come to prominence in recent years for the speculative debate over contents in the crypt, fueled in part by The Da Vinci Code.

The "Apprentice Pillar", or "Prentice Pillar", gets its name from a legend involving the master mason in charge of the stonework in the chapel and his young apprentice.
