Roslin (previously meant Rosslyn or Roslyn) is a village in Midlothian, Scotland, 7 miles (11 kilometres) to the south of the resources city Edinburgh. It stands 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 Church was constructed, under the guide of William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness. Roslin became crucial as the seat of the St Clair (or Sinclair) family. In 1456 King James II provided it the condition of a burgh. Coal mining has been a significant occupation from the twelfth to the late twentieth centuries. From the 19th century forward, the tourist attractions of the Glen, Castle and also Church created Roslin as a preferred tourist destination. Noteworthy visitors included J. M. W. Turner, William Wordsworth (that wrote a rhyme in the chapel whilst leaving a tornado) and also his sister Dorothy, who created "'I never went through a 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 "an attractive glen-ny landscape much ruined, by the anguish of Scotch structure and a factory or 2."
