More of the Chapel’s exterior stonework has been revealed this week as further scaffolding has been removed.

The stonework on the Chapel’s west elevation, including the Baptistery, is now almost free from scaffolding, following work to repair fragmented statues, replace decayed stone, fix loose decoration, fill cracks, remove acquired grime and fill construction joints with traditional lime mortar.

Rosslyn Chapel Trust gratefully acknowledges support from Historic Scotland and the Heritage Lottery Fund towards the conservation project.
