If you are visiting The Edinburgh Festival this month, I would also recommend that you pay a visit to the beautiful Rosslyn Chapel at Roslin near Edinburgh. The chapel was founded in the 15th century and is privately owned by the 7th Earl of Rosslyn.

The Green Man
Have you ever thought about putting a Green Man into your garden or onto your garden wall?
The Green man is a sculpture or a representation of a face which is surrounded by leaves, foliage and vines which sprout from the mouth, nostrils or eyes. Used as a decorative architectural ornament, The Green Man is found in carvings in both secular and ecclesiastical buildings. It is often referred to as a foliage head or mask.
