'Da Vinci Code' tourists flock to Scottish chapel

ROSLIN, Scotland (AP) -- There's no mystical rose line
running through it, no Star of David carved into the
floor or hidden vault where the fabled Holy Grail may
rest. And the brutal veil of metal scaffolding
shrouding the chapel doesn't help either.

Reality at Rosslyn Chapel is very different from the
portrayal in Dan Brown's hit thriller, "The Da Vinci
Code," but the novel has been a welcome boost for a
church in desperate need of repair.

The book suggests the medieval stone building perched
in a gentle fold of the Pentland hills outside
Edinburgh could be the repository of the fabled Holy
Grail -- and with it the secret of whether Jesus
Christ and Mary Magdalene founded a dynasty.
