A fairly large natural park
I tend to write Rosslyn, which is the original form of the name, but if you plan to visit the area, you should know that it is now officially known as Roslin. Roslin Glen Country Park is a fairly large natural park that includes the Chapel, Roslin Inn Castle and extends to the village of Temple, home of the Scottish Knights Templar. At the opposite end of the park is another castle, Hawthornden (which possibly has a historical connection with the Templars but was never dominated by them). Among the space we find mountains, rivers, hills, forests, meadows and a diverse selection of wildlife, ranging from squirrels, salmons and deer (which are protected from hunting in these lands). You can see them all if you walk in silence. It is curious that many tourist guides describe Holyrood Park as the largest natural park in the Edinburgh area, when Roslin is in the same area and is literally quadruple the size!
