The Roslin Institute is an animal sciences research institute at Easter Bush, Midlothian, Scotland, part of the University of Edinburgh, and is funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.

The Institute was put in the world's spotlight in 1996, with the birth of Dolly the Sheep, the first animal ever to be cloned from an adult animal cell. The ultimate aim of The Roslin Institute is to enhance the lives of animals and with improved food safety, improved animal welfare and sustainable management of the environment for teaching and training scientists at all stages of their careers.
