Photograph of the chancel of Roslin Chapel with wooden pews in the foreground and the altar in the background. Two gothic arches can be seen behind the altar and stained glass windows beyond. To the right of the centre are three arches and on the right of the background stands the 'Prentice pillar with its spiralling stone carving.

Rosslyn 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. The 'Prentice Pillar' or 'Apprentice Pillar' is a feature of the rich stone carving inside the Chapel and was a popular subject that Wilson returned to photograph on a number of occasions.

This photograph is from a portfolio of 42 photographs taken by Wilson that were used to illustrate a book featuring entries from Queen Victoria's journals, written during her visits to Scotland. Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands, was published to great success in 1868.
