Roslin (formerly meant Rosslyn or Roslyn) is a village in Midlothian, Scotland, 7 miles (11 kilometres) to the south of the funding city Edinburgh. It depends 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 built, under the overview of William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness. Roslin became essential as the seat of the St Clair (or Sinclair) family members. In 1456 King James II provided it the status of a burgh. Coal mining has been a significant profession from the twelfth to the late twentieth centuries. From the 19th century forward, the destinations of the Glen, Castle and also Church established Roslin as a prominent visitor destination. Noteworthy visitors consisted of J. M. W. Turner, William Wordsworth (that composed a poem in the church whilst getting away a storm) and his sister Dorothy, who composed "'I never went through an extra delicious dell than the glen of Rosslyn". William Morris visited in March 1887, noting in his Socialist Diary that Roslin was "an attractive glen-ny landscape much spoiled, by the misery of Scotch structure and a factory or two." On the north-western side of the village made use of to be Roslin Institute, a biological study facility, where in 1996 Dolly the sheep became the first animal to be cloned from a grown-up somatic cell. It moved to Easter Bush in 2011.
