For us, family with two kids, Rosslyn Chapel provided amazingly lot of beautiful decorations to see, sacred atmosphere to sense and interesting history to absorb. It's really a place worth a visit.

Roslin Glen is one of my favourite places to visit. Lots of very pretty walks along the river, under the castle and over the other side of the road at the old mill. You could visit numerous times and go a different walk. Very clean and tidy and quiet if you go first thing in the morning

Mainly built around 1450, Rosslyn Castle is situated on a truly dramatic site; on a tree-covered spine of rock rising steeply from the River Esk, which surrounds it on three sides. The Rosslyn estate has been held by the St.Clair family since the Barony of Rosslyn was established in 1070 and its most famous landmark, Rosslyn Chapel, is just a few minutes’ walk away. The Chapel has recently undergone an extensive programme of conservation and a state-of-the-art visitor centre tells the Chapel’s story – from its 15th century origins, through the Reformation to the Da Vinci Code and beyond. Today, the Castle makes a perfect base for exploring Rosslyn Chapel, Glen and surrounding attractions of Midlothian. On the outskirts of Edinburgh, Rosslyn Castle is ideal for exploring the many delights which Scotland’s historic capital city has to offer, all year round. There are very good public transport links between the village of Roslin and the city centre.
