Roslin (previously spelt Rosslyn or Roslyn) is a town in Midlothian, Scotland, 7 miles (11 kilometres) to the south of the funding city Edinburgh. It stands on high ground, near the northwest bank of the river North Esk. Legend has it the village was founded in 203 A.D. by Asterius, a Pict. In 1303 Roslin was the site of a battle of the First Battle of Scottish Independence. In 1446, Rosslyn Church was constructed, under the overview of William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness. Roslin became essential as the seat of the St Clair (or Sinclair) family. In 1456 King James II provided it the status of a burgh. Coal mining has been a major profession from the twelfth to the late twentieth centuries. From the 19th century forward, the attractions of the Glen, Castle as well as Church developed Roslin as a popular visitor destination. Noteworthy site visitors included J. M. W. Turner, William Wordsworth (who created a poem in the church whilst getting away a storm) and his sister Dorothy, who wrote “‘I never ever travelled through a much more scrumptious dell than the glen of Rosslyn”. William Morris saw in March 1887, noting in his Socialist Diary that Roslin was “a lovely glen-ny landscape much spoiled, by the suffering of Scotch building and a factory or more.” On the north-western side of the town used to be Roslin Institute, an organic study facility, where in 1996 Dolly the lamb ended up being the initial pet to be cloned from an adult somatic cell. It moved to Easter Bush in 2011.
