We undertook some 3D laser scanning work at Rosslyn Chapel back in 2001. In around 90 minutes of on-site scanning, we recorded 3 areas of sculpture including two window frame decorations featuring two angels and “Robert the Bruce” plus an area of wall featuring the famous “teardrop” carving plus masons marks.

The Trust’s interest in 3D scanning was piqued regarding the ability to accurately record the sculpture in their current condition and also examine the fine masons’ marks in more detail. Our test was undertaken using our old scanning system (sold in 2002). Our current scanning system would produce even higher quality results than those shown below. Given the current interest in all things Rosslyn, we’ve negotiated with the Rosslyn Chapel Trust to release these images.

Higher resolution images are available for download. Please contact us for more details. A fee will be levied which was be donated to the Rosslyn Chapel Trust.
