What is recorded here

Rosslyn Castle is a ruined, habitable stone fortress in Midlothian, Scotland, built by the Sinclair family from the fourteenth century and damaged repeatedly since. It stands beside Rosslyn Chapel, reached by a high bridge, and has survived fires, wars and neglect because people kept returning to live inside its broken walls. The castle is not a dead monument; it is a place that was damaged, rebuilt, abandoned in parts and used again, which is why it still exists.

Rosslyn Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Midlothian. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Rosslyn Castle was built in the late 15th century by William St Clair, 2nd Earl of Rosslyn, and is remembered for its architectural significance and association with the St Clair family, a prominent Scottish noble lineage. It is also noted for its connection to the Rosslyn Chapel, a nearby 15th-century structure linked to the Knights Templar and popular culture.
