Hi guys, welcome to another episode of ultimate bucket list, and on today's
show I'm here at Rosslyn Chapel trying to find out if this really is the home
of the Holy Grail. Let's see if Dan Brown and Tom Hanks was right Rosslyn Chapel
this little famous Chapel just outside of Edinburgh is supposedly home to the
Holy Grail and was popularized by Dan Brown's book The DaVinci Code and
obviously the film of the same name but is it actually well I'm driving to
Edinburgh to find out when you come across the chapel you probably won't
think that this is anything special in fact you probably think that this looks
like pretty much every other Church in the country even when you walk around it
you'll think well what's so special about this place it's only when you step
inside that the answer becomes immediately obvious because this Chapel
is home to some of the most amazing stone carvings that you'll see in your
entire life literally everything that you see here
is hand carved in stone and is several several hundred years old
it's absolutely staggering the amount of detail that's in this place it's
literally all wall-to-wall floor-to-ceiling covered in carvings and
all of these carvings have either some historical meaning or some symbolic
meaning take your time to actually have a walk
and check out these statues now once you go in you get a little bit of a history
lesson about the chapel and this is also the points where they tell you that you
can't film or photograph anything they say is for health and safety reasons was
in all reality it's basically to stop people like me cashing in but whilst
you're here have a look around anyway as you can see from this hidden video
footage that I've taken on the fly this place isn't the biggest chapel that
you'll ever come across in fact it's pretty damn small but considering that
is such a small chapel it has some of the most amazing carvings and it has
lots of them each individual carving tells a story the most impressive
carving has to be this The Apprentice pillar now the story behind this is that
an apprentice decided to carve this pillar all by himself
and because it was so much better than his masters his master flew into a fit
of rage and decide to strike the apprentice dead with a hammer
so yeah jealous rage but other than that this is the most amazing carving that's
probably in this place and the story behind it pretty good too now even
whilst filming on the fly this place is absolutely stunning and you can actually
see the level of detail that's in these stone carvings you'll probably get
dizzied from just staring at the ceiling all the time so I kind of guess why
these people don't want you to trip up and take photos of this place I still
think that it's a bit of an excuse to not let photographers cash in on stuff
like this now according to the film's the Holy
Grail is located in the basements of the chapel I decided to actually try and
find that basement and whilst in the film it looks like this in reality it
looks like this pretty damn empty and unfortunately no
Holy Grail here to be found it's still pretty nice basement though even has its
a window there's loss of stories speculation and conspiracy theories
surrounding this Chapel things like the Knights Templar it used to be a Masonic
Temple etc but historians have largely debunked most of these and unfortunately
there's nothing dodgy going on here even though the carvings are a little bit
scary it's absolutely fine there's no secret coat that meets here etc so don't
believe everything that you read in the books or see on movies these myths are
largely perpetuated by poets and artists tried to make things seem a bit more
controversial than they actually are but once you've got past the controversy
head on outside and visit Rosslyn Glen now it's a gland obviously and is a very
nice piece of greenery with a river running through it and you can also ask
your here visit Rosslyn Castle or the remains of Rosslyn Castle apparently
it's haunted as hell and after walking around it this is somewhere where I
definitely don't want to be hanging around at night but overall guys if you
are interested in history culture or if you are a fan of Dan browse books I
highly recommend you come here once in your life okay Ninh I'm sold
what I want you to do well Rosslyn Chapel is about 20 to 30
minutes drive outside of Edinburgh and it's fairly fairly easy to find I highly
recommend that you drive here but I'm pretty sure that there are buses that
also go to Rosslyn Chapel the cost to do the tours
well I'll leave the prices on the screen there but suffice to say that this
includes entry into the chapel and that's basically it is that anything
else I need to know yes there is no photography or videography allowed if
they catch you and unfortunately I didn't get caught but if they do catch
you they politely ask you to leave and also there's no Holy Grail here really
it was just a figment of Dan Brown's imagination albeit a very very good
imagination and quite a good films of boots if you have enjoyed this video
