A Scottish church which featured in the best-selling novel “The Da Vinci Code” has revealed another mystery hidden in secret code for almost 600 years.

“The music has been frozen in time by symbolism,” said Thomas Mitchell, a 75-year-old musician and ex-Royal Air Force code breaker, on his Web site, which details the 27-year project to crack the chapel’s code.
