The makers of the forthcoming movie adaptation of Dan Brown's best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code have agreed terms that will allow them to film at Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland.

The chapel features in the climax of novel and it was thought that filmmakers had decided to build a replica following lack of any agreement.

However, speaking to the Scotland on Sunday supplement the chairman of the Rosslyn Chapel Trust said: "We have an agreement with Rose Line productions to film, subject to contract, this summer."

The book starts with the murder of a Lourve curator and the clues he leaves behind, which send Robert Langdon on a journey that leads to a well-protected secret that could change Christianity forever.

Tom Hanks, Jean Reno and Audrey Tautou star with Ron Howard directing from a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman.

It is thought filming at the chapel will take place over a week near the end of August.
