Description Engraving of Roslin Castle from the south. Titled 'ADC. Roslin. Plate I. This Castle is situated upon a peninsulated rock on the river Esk, about six miles to the south of Edinburgh, surrounded with hanging cliffs, covered with wood. It appears from the remains to have been a place of great strength: The only access is by a very high bridge, which joins it to the neighbouring banks. Near this Castle the English, under John de Segrave, Regent of Scotland, were thrice defeated in one day by the Scottish forces, commanded by John Cumine and Simon Fraser, anno 1302. This view is from the South.' [Adam de Cardonnel, "Picturesque Antiquities of Scotland," 1788.]
