Roslin Glen Country Park

01875 821 990

This peaceful wooded Glen follows the River North Esk. On the site of an old gunpowder factory, many of the magazines (gunpowder stores) still stand, as well as some of the old mill buildings. Also in the glen are the world famous Rosslyn chapel and Roslin castle, around which a number of important battles took place. Natural highlights along the various walks include stunning riverside sandstone cliffs, while the Lower Glen features paths which lead across a bridge to woodland owned by the Earl of Roslin, passing alongside Roslin Castle and Wallace's Cave. Wildlife living here include woodpeckers, roe deer, kestrels and bats.
Parking for Roslin Glen is on the B7003 between Roslin Village and Rosewell. Walkers can also access the upper Powdermill section of the Glen from the Penicuik - Dalkeith Walkway and the lower section from Rosslyn Chapel and the River North Esk path.
