Roslin Castle, sometimes spelt Rosslyn, is a partially ruined castle near the village of Roslin in Midlothian, Scotland, about 9 miles south of Edinburgh on the north bank of the North Esk. The Sinclair family, Earls of Caithness and Barons of Roslin, fortified the site in the early 14th century. Destroyed during the War of the Rough Wooing in 1544, it was rebuilt into the cliffs of Roslin Glen and has remained at least partly habitable since.
