Roslin Castle
Roslin Castle is a partially ruined Scottish castle on a rocky promontory above a loop of the North Esk near the village of Roslin, Midlothian. The site preserves high curtain walls, the fragmentary south keep, and a restored east range built into the rock; the east range has been habitable since the early 17th century and contains richly carved door surrounds and panelled principal rooms.

Partial ruin
As it stood in 1622
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a rocky promontory within a looping river, the castle is approached by a long stone bridge with low parapets leading through a substantial gatehouse into a narrow courtyard. Red-brown sandstone walls and rounded buttresses rise from the rock; tall curtain walls with ground-level openings stand to considerable height, while a single ruined wall marks the south keep. The five-storey east range is built into the cliff with a pitched roof and crow-step gables and a richly carved stone doorway.
