Dear Rosslyn Sinclair,
The Sinclair Family has a wonderful heritage and
a very mysterious and intriguing background.I have been studying the known
details of Rosslyn Chapel for a year now.There are a number of books available
that have details regarding the Rosslyn Chapel. Of great interest are
"Bloodline of the Holy Grail" by Laurence Gardener. "The Hiram
Key" and their latest book "The Second Messiah" by Christopher
Knight & Robert Lomas. Here you will find photo's and amazing information of
the origin of the Rosslyn Chapel.
The name of the Chapel is spelt as
Rosslyn,yet the village around it is spelt Roslin. Apparently the
spelling with the double 's' and the'y' was devised in the 1950's as a way of
making the place more Celtic. In a Scottish Gaelic dictionary the two syllables
will give you:
ROS: A noun meaning knowledge Linn: A
noun meaning generation
I hope you have fun on your visit to Rosslyn and
will enjoy researching your unique heritage as much as I have !
John Sinclair-Hall
