From Scotland-Work at a medieval chapel in Midlothian, which featured in the Da Vinci Code blockbuster film, has finally been completed after 16 years.
Rosslyn Chapel is free from scaffolding for the first time since its major conservation project began in 1997.
Work to the chapel, which is Category A-listed, was instigated after a report in 1995 warned of damage to the stonework because of dampness.
In March 1997, a steel structure was erected to cover the building.
The structure allowed the stone roof to dry out naturally, and this remained in place until summer 2010.
Since then, stone and mortar repairs have been carried out on the chapel's external walls, pinnacles and buttresses.
