Roslin
Roslin (previously meant Rosslyn or Roslyn) is a town in Midlothian, Scotland, 7 miles (11 km) to the south of the capital 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 War of Scottish Independence. In 1446, Rosslyn Church was constructed, under the guide of William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness. Roslin came to be crucial as the seat of the St Clair (or Sinclair) family members. In 1456 King James II approved it the standing of a burgh. Coal mining has actually been a major line of work from the twelfth to the late twentieth centuries. From the 19th century forward, the destinations of the Glen, Castle and Church developed Roslin as a preferred tourist location. Notable site visitors consisted of J. M. W. Turner, William Wordsworth (who wrote a rhyme in the chapel whilst running away a storm) and his sibling Dorothy, who composed "'I never ever went through a much more delicious dell than the glen of Rosslyn". William Morris went to in March 1887, keeping in mind in his Socialist Diary that Roslin was "a lovely glen-ny landscape much spoiled, by the torment of Scotch structure and also a factory or more." On the north-western side of the village used to be Roslin Institute, a biological study facility, where in 1996 Dolly the sheep came to be the very first pet to be cloned from a grown-up somatic cell. It relocated to Easter Bush in 2011.
