Roslin, Midlothian : ウィキペディア英語版 | Roslin, Midlothian
Roslin (also spelt Rosslyn or Roslyn) is a village in Midlothian, Scotland, 7 miles (11 km) to the south of the capital city Edinburgh. It stands on high ground, near the northwest bank of the river North Esk. ==The name== The name Roslin (recorded around 1240 as ''Roskelyn'') probably derives from the Celtic words ''ros'', meaning a moor, and ''celyn'', meaning holly. An alternative derivation is from Gaelic ''ros'', meaning a rocky promontory, and ''linne'', meaning a waterfall or pool.〔Plaque at Rosslyn Chapel〕 The theory that it is a corruption of ''Roseline'', a supposed medieval meridian passing through Paris and Rosslyn Chapel, is fanciful.
