An industrial town with a sprinkling of history

Rosyth is a large hamlet in the Scottish region of Fife, most known for its pretty churches and Nearby Royal British Navy dockyard. It's also a handy base for exploring the many wonders of historic Edinburgh. The ruins of a 15th century tower house - Rosyth Castle - sit at the dockyard's edge, and a well-preserved dovecot, with beautiful barrel-vaulted ceilings, sits just half a mile north of the castle and dates back to the 16th Century.

Family fun in Rosyth's Public Park

For families looking for something to see and do in Rosyth, the public park has a model boating pond used by the local club, and spectators can view the soaring vessels from the wooden walkway and viewing areas. A skate park, two football pitches and two rugby pitches lend themselves to anyone that doesn't mind a bit of rough and tumble, and there's a playground for smaller children.
