Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh in Scotland is thought to be one possible site for the burial/hiding place of the Holy Grail.Built in 1446 by the St Clair family it has strong connections with the Knights Templar. It was once a place of pilgrimage to the vaults deep beneath the Chapel In the vaults uncoffined barons of the St Clair family were buried in full armour`
