Roslin
Roslin (formerly spelt Rosslyn or Roslyn) is a village in Midlothian, Scotland, 7 miles (11 kilometres) to the south of the resources city Edinburgh. It bases on high ground, near the northwest financial institution of the river North Esk. Tale 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 War of Scottish Independence. In 1446, Rosslyn Church was constructed, under the guide 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 gave it the standing of a burgh. Coal mining has been a major profession from the twelfth to the late twentieth centuries. From the 19th century onward, the attractions of the Glen, Castle and Church developed Roslin as a prominent vacationer location. Noteworthy visitors consisted of J. M. W. Turner, William Wordsworth (that composed a rhyme in the church whilst leaving a tornado) and his sibling Dorothy, that 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 "a stunning glen-ny landscape much ruined, by the misery of Scotch structure as well as a manufactory or more." On the north-western side of the town used to be Roslin Institute, an organic study facility, where in 1996 Dolly the lamb came to be the initial pet to be cloned from an adult somatic cell. It transferred to Easter Bush in 2011.
