For us, family with two kids, Rosslyn Chapel provided amazingly lot of beautiful decorations to see, sacred atmosphere to sense and interesting history to absorb. It's really a place worth a visit.

This is a beautiful Church located to the right of the road as you enter Dalkeith Palace. It’s lovely to walk around it and admire the impressive architecture, gargoyles and gabled roof. I’d like to see inside after the Covid restrictions are lifted.

This is a beautiful Church on the main road and a few minutes walk from the town centre. It’a great to look at the Church from the outside and there is the interesting partly ruined section. A must see when in Dalkeith.

This is a huge Church which was extensively renovated a few years ago. A welcoming congregation meets here (online only now due to Covid restrictions). There is a huge and impressive stained glass window. It is next to the park and war memorial.
