    Unhappy Found Rosslyn by accident

    I took the family to Scotland, and wanted to have the children make something out of glass at a local shop. would you believe that the shop had closed two days before, and you could no longer allow the children to blow glass? I asked the person at the desk, Is there anything else around here we could go visit? sure, she tells me, "you can go see Rosslyn" I take my wife, my mother, my four children and my nephew (uh huh) and the tour consisted of renting a tape player and head phones. You walked around the chapel with the head phones, and when you get to something of interest, the tape player talks about it. Well, with chasing after 5 children, I let my wife and mother listen to the head phones. It was only after I returned to baghdad and began to show an interest in Templars and Masons that I realized what a Mecca Rosslyn is. I could kick myself in the ****.

    It wasn't nearly enough, but Scotsman.com has a 5-part series of short pod-casts about Rosslyn here.
