Interior of Roslin Chapel

Photograph of two men, possibly masons, inside the Rosslyn Chapel, Midlothian. The man on the right is seated against an ornately carved pillar and a second man is seated on a box, facing three-quarters right, with his left arm resting on the edge of a piece of stone which he is working on, next to which is a maul. Behind this man, in the centre right of the background is the Apprentice pillar featuring twisting, scroll like decoration.

Rosslyn Chapel was built as a Catholic Collegiate church by William Sinclair, the 1st Earl of Caithness in 1456. It is now open for public worship as a member of the Scottish Episcopal Church. The 'Prentice Pillar' or 'Apprentice Pillar' is a feature of the rich stone carving inside the Chapel and was often photographed by George Washington Wilson.
