Rosslyn Chapel focuses on security bid
PLANS to install security cameras at Rosslyn Chapel to monitor visitors and give added protection to the historic site have been given the green light by council chiefs.
Trustees at the 15th-century chapel have applied for planning permission to install a CCTV system covering the perimeter of the building and surrounding grounds.
Rosslyn Chapel Trust director Colin Glynne-Percy, said the Midlothian site had not suffered problems with crime, but the cameras would "make sure the chapel and grounds are safe, particularly overnight".
Described as a book in stone, Rosslyn Chapel is renowned for its intricate carvings, featuring symbols of the Knights Templar, Christianity, Freemasonry and mythology.
The chapel has experienced a boost in visitor numbers since featuring in the best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code.
