Rosslyn Chapel fell into ruin but was restored during the 1850's and was re-opened for worship in April 1862. This photograph probably shows the masons who worked on the restoration of the chapel. The 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.
