Roslin (formerly meant 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 financial institution of the river North Esk. Tale has it the village was founded in 203 A.D. by Asterius, a Pict.

Coal mining has been a major line of work from the twelfth to the late twentieth centuries. From the 19th century onward, the tourist attractions of the Glen, Castle and also Chapel established Roslin as a popular tourist location. Remarkable visitors consisted of J. M. W. Turner, William Wordsworth (who composed a rhyme in the church whilst leaving a storm) and also his sibling Dorothy, that created "'I never ever went through an extra scrumptious dell than the glen of Rosslyn". William Morris went to in March 1887, noting in his Socialist Diary that Roslin was "a gorgeous glen-ny landscape much ruined, by the torment of Scotch structure as well as a manufactory or two." On the north-western side of the town made use of to be Roslin Institute, an organic research study establishment, where in 1996 Dolly the sheep came to be the initial animal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell. It transferred to Easter Bush in 2011.
