The Gothic exterior—with its flying buttresses, pinnacles, and pointed arches—hides an elaborate interior, full of stone carvings rich in symbolism.

Heather_W, Sep 2023
Great tour!
We loved seeing Melrose Abbey and Rosslyn Chapel. Our guide Jim D was excellent and had lots of interesting commentary along the way to each stop. The smaller group size was really comfortable and we would definitely look to do other tours with Rabbies again.
Rebecca_H, Sep 2023
Rosslyn Chapel Beauty
Our tour guide and driver, Jo, was so well-informed about our destinations, and told some amazing history stories. She was able to break down the complicated history into understandable (and funny!) pieces. The Rosslyn Chapel itself was stunning.
Terry_M, Sep 2023
History and Beautiful Landscapes Abundant
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The landscape was beautiful, crossed the Scotland/England borders, and the historical significance of the Rosslyn Chapel, Abby in Melrose, and Hadrian’s Wall was impressive. I touched the stone where Bruce’s heart was laid to rest, Roman ruins from 112 AD, and loved the history of the apprentice column. There was lots of out of bus time and much more history along the way.
