context_page_description: Roslin is a village in Midlothian, Scotland, 7 miles to the south of the capital city Edinburgh. It stands on high ground, near the northwest bank of the river North Esk.
context_section_description: The village sits on the west side of Roslin Glen, now a country park. Overlooking the Glen are
  Rosslyn Chapel and Roslin Castle.
  The elaborately carved chapel has long been associated with the Knights Templar and the Grail legend,  and featured in the best selling book The Da Vinci Code. The popularity of the book and the use of the chapel as a location in the subsequent film greatly increased the number of visitors to the village.
  Rosslyn Castle, owned by the family of the Earl of Rosslyn since the 14th century, is in partial ruins.  The habitable parts are let as holiday accommodation.
  A monument cairn erected by the Roslin Heritage Society at the end of last century, marks the site of the Battle of Roslin.
