An Insider’s Look at Roslin, Scotland

Host Jacqui Lents visits the village of Roslin, Scotland, to tour Rosslyn Chapel, known for its carvings and the Apprentice’s Pillar legend in which a jealous master mason kills his apprentice. She interviews local resident Colin, who shares local connections including Dolly the sheep, cloned nearby at the Roslin Institute. Jacqui recounts a failed activist plot to kidnap Dolly. Colin also mentions Bovril’s inventor living in Roslin, and a butcher who ended up being a Grinch for Christmas.
