Lovely walk and great to see the old gunpowder factory
A really pretty walk and some history. Really enjoyed a few hours here
Great walk, do it most weekends. Rich in history
Wow! This beautiful Chapel leaves you speechless. It's a place that you could spend days looking at all the detail. A true piece of Art.
An amazing and informative experience. The chapel is unbelievably beautiful and hearing about the history was both entertaining and interesting. 5 star.
Wow! Wow! WOW! Such a life changing experience and feel... like... WOW!
Parking is limited sometimes but so worth it! Very knowledgeable and kind staff! Couldn't thank you enough.

Loved visiting the Chapel on a rainy Sunday! We listened to the guide explaining the history of the Chapel, so interesting! It really is a stunning little place. The gift shop has lots of lovely items and there's a cafe also. We both had the mushroom soup, which was hot and tasty. Highly recommend a visit!
Fascinating place! We had a fun hunt for Templar inspired carvings. This has been on my bucket list for ages. Cafe prices are at the usual tourist rates. Ladies on reception were really lovely and very informative. Only downside was it was very busy tho we only waited an hour for the next available tour so book ahead and the cafe was so busy we were asked to sit outside ...it was raining and there is no cover! Maybe a wee awning of sorts or umbrellas? Something tho.
What a fantastic walk, go down to the river and look at the history, such a great walk from roslin chapel you can do, a big loop.
On line booking in advance is recommended as this place is popular. Visitor centre great and staff helpful and knowledgeable. The chapel is amazing and the stonework a sign of some great stonemasons in days gone bye. It is spectacular.
This is a must see and well worth the visit. The tour given is also fantastic with the opportunity to genuinely ask questions of the tour guides who were a wealth of knowledge of the Chapel. I highly recommend a visit. Open on Sundays. Get there 10 minutes before your allotted time and I do recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment, although tickets are for sale at the gate.
The best place so far. Looked amazing. There was a small talk at the end with interesting facts and stories which was very nice.
A short 10 minute walk from the chapel. The castle isn't much, some ruins, but the geography is interesting as the valleys are deep. There is a private residence beyond the gate ruins so you cannot go there. But it's nice anyway. A must visit if you're visiting the chapel. Not so much on its own.
This is such a nice relaxing walk, it wasn’t too far from the car park and it’s fairly easy. Once you reach the mills there’s a nice resting point by the water. Totally recommend this walk!
Lovely walk but the way back is a bit steep. Although there’s not much left from the castle it is still quite spectacular. The location is amazing and offers beautiful views.
As but of a walk from the chapel but definitely worth it. Not much left of the castle but the bridge and the walls are impressive.
We added this stop last minute and so glad we did. Loved the chapel and gift shop/cafe. We stayed to hear the docent speak and she was so entertaining and very knowledgeable. Book your ticket sin advance to make sure you get in during busy months for sure.
10/05/22, on the same day that I visited The Chapel.
Wow, this castle, which is just a 10mins walk from Rosslyn Chapel, is just stunning.
You need to see the structure under the castle, the strength of it, in creating the entrance to the castle and the building work is phenomenal.

I liked the location of the ruins, the view from afar. The surrounding woodland is excellent for a hike. There is a stream nearby and the place is great for children to run around or for a walk with a dog. However, due to steep hills and slippery slopes not recommended for disabled or people with walking problems.
A lovely place to visit. Make your way down to the river and explore, could have spent the week there! Found two pairs of Dippers to watch.
Fantastic castle ruins surrounded by an idyllic natural landscape. The castle is very easy to reach and there are many paths within Roslin Glen Country Park and along the river to explore the surrounding.
Love walking down there always different everytime i go, water and old ruins make it an awesome place for kids to explore and play. Visit regularly!
Short walk from Roslin city centre and the chapel. Walk leads beside the river and is very enjoyable and pleasant with nature around and occasional fellow walker/hiker. If you're driving, there's a car park about 150 from gunpowder factory gates so you can still enjoy the walk.
Lovely walk to it great to see anytime of the year.
Loads of wildlife and history to be seen from the car park to the gunpowder mills.
