I am assured that nothing will be done at Rosslyn Chapel which will upset
the spiritual dimension or sanctity of the Chapel or breach the guidelines of
Historic Scotland as to its historical integrity.
The work which is being proposed is to safeguard the safety of those
visitors who
wish to visit the lower Chapel. At the present time, the steps leading to
the crypt
are dangerously worn and, unless they are repaired or overlaid with timber
planks,
a serious injury to a visitor would be inevitable with all the
'accusations' that would
bring in its wake - plus the possibility of a hefty insurance claim. (We
face the same
problem at Girnigoe where the slightest slip could mean a plunge into the
North Sea).
The measures proposed for Rosslyn are purely precautionary.
