The path was temporarirly closed after leaving Roslin Chapel die to subsidence but I was able to pass

November 4, 2021,Roslin Glen — Edinburgh and Lothian Walks

This scenic glen walk continues to be beautiful throughout the seasons. Wonderfully peaceful but full of vibrancy, wildlife and so many walks and trails to choose from.

March 7, 2025,Roslin Glen baby-carrying loop

Beautiful walk in Roslin Glen, taking in Roslin chapel, Roslin castle and the gunpowder mill ruins along the way! Some steep terrain with steps, good shoes needed. The chapel is a perfect baby friendly cafe stop at the end 😊
