This is a high oblong edifice, with the letters "S.W.S.1622" over a door in the front.

ROSLIN CHAPEL formerly St Matthew's Collegiate Church |
Roslin Chapel |
Revd. [Reverend] Mr. Brown Roslin
Revd. [Reverend] Mr.Stirling Roslin |
012 |
The elegant Chapel of Roslin is situated in the immediate neighbourhood of Edinburgh and is probably more visited by the citizens & strangers than any other district of Scotland.It is seven miles south of the city and occupies a commanding situation on the brow of a rising ground, called the College Hill overlooking the Castle. It is at the (S.E.) [South East] end of the village of Roslin The original name appears to have been Roskelyn, in Celtic signifying a hill in a Glen, it exactly describes its position and is easily recognised in the modernised Roslin. The Chapel was founded in 1446 by William St Clair, the seventh of that name, Lord of Roslin, Prince of Orkney, Duke of Oldenburgh etc etc. The Chapel from the first was, properly speaking from the first a collegiate church and founded for a provost, six prebendaries & two choristers, and dedicated to St. Matthew the Apostle. Tradition says that the founder procured the design of the church from Rome and in order to secure the most able & skilful workmen he gave each mason ten pounds & each master mason 20£ a year, with proportionate allotments of land which had the effect of attracting to Roslin the best of sculpters of Scotland & neighbouring Kingdoms. He endowed the chapel extensively and saw,under the hands of the skilful members of the Institution of Free Masonry, developing beauties in profuse magnificence, but notwithstanding his endeavour to complete the original design, this gem of architechture was left by him unfinished. Such parts however of the structure as were in an advanced state, Sir Oliver St Clair, third son of the Prince of Orkney, carried on and completed but the originally designed edifice (which was in the form of a Cross with a lofty tower in the centre) was in many parts never commenced. The Choir, the lady Chapel, and the wall of the transept are all that were ever erected of the edifice. What has been finished is enough to gratify a refined taste |

the beauty of the conception the profusion of ornaments every where displayed and admirably carved, making it rank among the most perfect specimens of Gothic ecclesiastical architecture extant. Besides the endowments of the founder it received from barons of Roslin, grants of land, in 1523 Sir William St Clair gifted to it portions of land for dwelling houses & gardens to the provost & prebendaries. But ere half a century elapsed the spirit of the Reformation agitated the human mind across the breadth of land breathing vengeance on the Priests & followers of the Catholic faith, and the poor provost, and prebendaries of Roslin in 1572 after having been denuded of their possessions were obliged to relinquish by a formal deed of resignation, the whole of their revenues & property. At the era of the Revolution in 1688, a mob which attacked Roslin Castle and carried away or destroyed its furniture did some damage also to the Chapel, depriving it of numerous ornaments, and with the injury sustained at the hands of this rabble composed by persons from Edinburgh & tenants of the barony, Roslin Chapel exhibited symptoms of decay. But it was repaired at much expense by General St. Clair, who put glas[s] into all the windows, new laid the floor with flagstones, placed new flagstones on the roof & built a hi[gh] wall round the cemetery. It was again repaired by the first Earl of Roslin, who roofed it with blue slate & partially renovated its architecture without impairing any of its antique or distinctive features, and lastly the present noble proprietor with the most laudible zeal for the preservation of this beautiful specimen of architect[ure] has not only thoroughly repaired it but has restored the east window, displacing the dark wall that formerly disfigured the end of the bric[k]. The Chapel is entered by two doors, the one to the north, the other to the south. On entering the interior, there are manifold beauties to g[ladden] the eye. A descent from the south-east corner leads by a flight of 20 stone steps to a crypt or chapel. It is partly subterraneous but owing to the sud[den] declivity of the hill, it looks out from the surface at the east end & is lighted by a single window. Roslin Chapel is divided into a central & two na[rrow] side aisles by 14 pillars the capitals of which are elaborately adorned being covered with foliage & a series of figures & the whole interior is beautiful in the ext[reme.] The altars independent of the high altar were three, and respectively dedicated to St. Matthew, St. Andrew & St. Peter. The remains of the barons of Roslin lie here entombed in their armour according to the custom of the family. An opinion long prevailed that on the night previous to the death of any of the barons, the Chapel appeared on fire. |

ROSLIN CASTLE |
Roslin Castle |
Revd. [Reverend] Mr. Brown Fruch Manse Roslin
and several published accounts of Roslin |
|
This building stands on a huge mass of peninsulated sandstone rock. The site altho' [although] in the highest degree pleasant and romantic appears to have been ill chosen to withstand a siege after the invention of gunpowder, as it is overlooked by heights on every side. The only entrance in ancient times was by a bridge of one arch over a deep gully & still standing with fragments of the old Gateway. The structure in ancient times must have been of great size & massiveness, but in the present age the once famous Castle of Roslin is the remains of a large pile, haggard & utterly dilapidated. The more ancient parts now consist of a tremendous triple tier of vaults with a comparative modern mansion reared above. A spacious stone stair case conducts to the different floors from top to bottom, but the usual entrance to the vaults is by the west side through the garden. A passage of 70 feet conducts to a spacious kitchen with a chimney of great width a bakehouse and other accommodations well adapted for a baronial household. The remaining vaults which are very numerous and are all of the same construction on the different tiers, are small & ill lighted with circular apertures (facing the east) for discharging arrows or missiles. About the year 1100 William St Clair obtained from Malcolm Canmore the lands of the barony of Roslin & possibly he was the first constructor of the oldest fragments of the surviving ruins. The early barons lived in great splendour. Here Sir William St. Clair a nobleman possessed of great property and a princely revenue kept a great & splendid court and was royally served at his own table in vessels of gold & and silver. Much of the antique appearance of Roslin Castle is now gone, there being only some huge fragments of walls & battlements remaining on the North side, on the south a comparatively modern mansion has been reared on the old foundation, over the door of which is the date 1622. In the area in front of the new building, an immense heap of the rubbish & ruins of the great N.W. [North West] Tower is now covered with grass & brushwood |
