Ice House, Roslin, Midlothian.

Laat week I had a closer look at the Dryden Tower which was erected by the owners of Dryden House, by Bilston, Midlothian, (Scotland).    Dryden House was demolished during the 1930's and is now beneath the waste from the former Bilston Glen Colliery.    Within the lands and built in to the south bank of the Killburn  (named after the many who died there during the Battle of Roslin 1302)  is a superbly constructed ice house,  one of several in the Edinburgh and Midlothian area.   The stone work is still in excellent condition, both externally and internally.
