Rosslyn Chapel, Midlothian

King Darius' Trial of Wisdom, in a Latin inscription on the architrave over the stairs leading down to the sacristy. Forte est vinu. Fortior est rex. Fortiores sunt mulieres: sup om vincit veritas. [Wine is strong. The king is stronger. Women are stronger still: but truth conquers all.]
