Overview

Roslin Glen is an area of dramatic scenery intimately entwined in much of Scotland's turbulent past.

This circular walk crosses the plateau above the glen returning through Roslin Glen itself and passes many sites of historic interest, including disused Gunpowder Factories, Roslin Castle and Rosslyn Chapel. The walk begins in Roslin, which is known to have existed as a flourishing market town for over a thousand years.

Just beyond Roslin the skyline is dominated by the Pentland Hills and Dryden Tower.
