Roslin
Roslin (previously led to Rosslyn or Roslyn) is a town in Midlothian, Scotland, 7 miles (11 kilometres) to the south of the capital city Edinburgh. It bases on high ground, near the northwest bank of the river North Esk. Legend has it the town 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 Chapel was constructed, under the overview of William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness. Roslin became vital as the seat of the St Clair (or Sinclair) household. In 1456 King James II approved it the standing of a burgh. Coal mining has 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 Chapel created Roslin as a preferred visitor location. Significant visitors consisted of J. M. W. Turner, William Wordsworth (that created a rhyme in the church whilst running away a storm) and his sis Dorothy, that wrote "'I never travelled through an extra delicious dell than the glen of Rosslyn". William Morris went to in March 1887, noting in his Socialist Diary that Roslin was "a beautiful glen-ny landscape much ruined, by the misery of Scotch building and also a factory or 2." On the north-western side of the town used to be Roslin Institute, an organic research study establishment, where in 1996 Dolly the sheep became the initial pet to be duplicated from a grown-up somatic cell. It moved to Easter Bush in 2011.
