Scotland's first [[Garden city movement|Garden City]],<ref>{{Cite news |last=Bennett |first=Gabriella |date=2024-04-07 |title=Rosyth's garden city blooms again |newspaper=[[The Times]] |url=https://www.thetimes.com/life-style/property-home/article/rosyths-garden-city-blooms-again-j5cr9z8pg |access-date=2024-04-07 |language=en |issn=0140-0460}}</ref> Rosyth is part of the Greater Dunfermline Area and is located 3 miles south of [[Dunfermline]] city centre and 10 miles northwest of [[Edinburgh]] city centre. To the west of Rosyth lies [[Limekilns]] and to the east lies [[Inverkeithing]].

Rosyth was founded along with the finished construction of [[Rosyth Dockyard]] in March 1916, built as a naval base for [[World War I]] battleships to protect the [[North Sea]]. Rosyth played a key role in [[World War II]] defending the North Sea especially during the [[German occupation of Norway]]. It was then redeveloped to maintain [[Nuclear submarine|submarines]] and serve as a port and business park.<ref name=":1" />

Rosyth is near the narrowest crossing point of the Firth of Forth, so has long been strategically important, evidenced by the 15th century [[Rosyth Castle]]. Rosyth is home to 12 [[Historic Scotland]] [[listed building]]s<ref>{{Cite web |title=Listed Buildings in Rosyth Ward, Fife |url=https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/scotland/rosyth-ward-fife |access-date=2024-04-07 |website=britishlistedbuildings.co.uk}}</ref> as well as sections of long distance footpaths the [[Fife Coastal Path]] and the [[Fife Pilgrim Way]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fife Coastal Path 1: Kincardine to North Queensferry |url=https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/fife-stirling/kincardine-north-queensferry.shtml |access-date=2024-09-22 |website=Walkhighlands |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-02-08 |title=Fife Pilgrim Way |url=https://fifewalking.com/find-a-walk/central-fife-walks/fife-pilgrim-way/ |access-date=2024-09-22 |website=Fife Walking |language=en}}</ref>

==Governance==

Rosyth is within the [[Cowdenbeath (Scottish Parliament constituency)|Cowdenbeath]] constituency of the [[Scottish Parliament]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bcomm-scotland.gov.uk/includes/downloadfile.asp?file=/1st_holyrood/final_rec/const_maps/Cowdenbeath.pdf|title=Cowdenbeath constituency map|publisher=Boundary commission|access-date=17 May 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20111202174644/http%3A//www.bcomm%2Dscotland.gov.uk/includes/downloadfile.asp?file%3D/1st_holyrood/final_rec/const_maps/Cowdenbeath.pdf|archive-date=2 December 2011|df=dmy-all}}</ref> currently held by [[Annabelle Ewing]] of the [[Scottish National Party]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.parliament.scot/msps/currentmsps/annabelle-ewing-msp.aspx|title=Annabelle Ewing MSP|publisher=The Scottish Parliament|access-date=2 August 2016}}</ref> as well as the [[Mid Scotland and Fife (Scottish Parliament electoral region)|Mid Scotland and Fife]] electoral region.

For the [[UK Parliament]], Rosyth is located in the [[Dunfermline and Dollar (UK Parliament constituency)|Dunfermline and Dollar constituency]] and is represented by [[Graeme Downie]] of the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]], who won election in the [[2024 United Kingdom general election|2024 General Election.]]

Rosyth has three representatives on Fife Council: Brian Goodall ([[Scottish National Party]]), Tony Jackson ([[Scottish National Party]]) and Andrew Verrecchia ([[Scottish Labour Party|Labour Party]]).

==Dockyard and Military==
Rosyth is best known for its large Naval [[Dockyard]], formerly the [[Rosyth dockyard|Royal Naval Dockyard Rosyth]]. The town was planned as a [[Garden city movement|garden city]] with accommodation for the construction workers and dockyard workers. Today, the dockyard is almost {{convert|2.2|km2|sqmi}} in size, a large proportion of which was [[Reclaimed land|reclaimed]] during construction.
[[File:HMS Queen Elizabeth in Rosyth Dockyard MOD 45158230.jpg|left|thumb|381x381px|Picture of Rosyth Dockyard - HMS Queen Elizabeth]]
Rosyth, [[Inverkeithing]] and nearby [[Charlestown, Fife|Charlestown]] were major centres of [[shipbreaking]] activity, notably the salvage of much of the German fleet scuttled at [[Gutter Sound]], [[Scapa Flow]],<ref>{{cite book |last=Buxton |first=Ian L. |title=Metal Industries: shipbreaking at Rosyth and Charlestown |year=1992 |publisher=World Ship Society |page=104 |oclc=28508051}} Ships scrapped there include the Mauretania and much of the German Fleet at Scapa Flow. Ships listed with owners and dates sold.</ref> the [[Cunard Line]]'s [[RMS Mauretania (1906)|RMS Mauretania]], and the [[White Star Line]]'s [[RMS Olympic]].

The associated military naval base closed in 1994, and no [[Royal Navy]] ships are ''permanently'' based at Rosyth, though some ships now return for docking and refit activities, including {{sclass|Sandown|minehunter}}s and [[Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier]]s.

Rosyth's dockyards became the first in the [[Royal Navy]] to be [[privatise]]d when [[Babcock International]] acquired the site in 1987.  The privatisation followed almost eighty years of contribution to the [[Defense (military)|defence]] of the [[United Kingdom]] which spanned two [[World Wars]] and the [[Cold War]] with the [[Soviet Union]], during which Rosyth became a key [[nuclear submarine]] maintenance establishment.

When the final submarine refit finished in 2003, a project to undertake early [[nuclear decommissioning]] of the submarine refit and allied facilities – Project RD83 – began pre-planning. The project was funded by [[Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Defence]], in accordance with the contractual agreement in place following the sale of the dockyard, but management and sub-contracting was the responsibility of the dockyard owner, [[Babcock Engineering Services]]. The main decommissioning sub-contractor was [[Edmund Nuttall Limited]].

Work began in 2006 and was finished in 2010. The project completed ahead of programme and under-budget, which is unusual in nuclear decommissioning activities. Notably some nuclear liabilities do remain at Rosyth Dockyard.

The dockyard was the site for final assembly of the two {{sclass|Queen Elizabeth|aircraft carrier}}s for the Royal Navy's future carrier project.

=== Military installations ===
A number of [[Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Defence]] establishments and military bases are located both in and around the Naval dockyard at Rosyth.

In November 2016 the UK Government announced that [[MoD Caledonia]] would close in 2022.<ref>{{cite web |date=2016-11-07 |title=BBC News – Eight military bases in Scotland to close |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-37876561 |access-date=2016-11-07 |publisher=BBC.co.uk}}</ref> On 1 April 2023 it was renamed HMS Caledonia and its future is assured.<ref>{{cite web |title=Rosyth site secure after transfer back to Royal Navy |url=https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-latest-activity/news/2023/march/31/230331-caledonia |website=Royal Navy |access-date=1 April 2023}}</ref>

There are Sea, Army and Air [[Cadets (youth program)|Cadets]] located in Rosyth. The Sea and Air cadets are located in the Naval Dockyard inside [[HMS Caledonia (base)|HMS Caledonia]], whereas the Army cadets is located next to Park Road Primary School on Middlebank Street.

{{main|Rosyth - Zeebrugge ferry service}}
Starting in 2002, an overnight [[ferry]] service linked Rosyth with [[Zeebrugge]] in [[Belgium]]. This service was discontinued by [[Superfast Ferries]] in September 2008, but recommenced in May 2009 under new operator [[Norfolkline]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7789696.stm | work=BBC News | title=Zeebrugge ferry to restart in May | date=2008-12-18 | access-date=2010-05-22}}</ref> They ran three sailings a week in each direction.

Norfolkline was taken over by [[DFDS Seaways]], who subsequently reduced the service to freight-only, three sailings a week in each direction.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://freight.dfdsseaways.com/dfds_ferries/north_sea_ferries/rosyth_zeebrugge_ferries/ |title=Rosyth – Zeebrugge &#124; Routes & Schedules – DFDS |publisher=Freight.dfdsseaways.com |access-date=2016-02-27}}</ref> The service was terminated in 2018 following a fire aboard one of the ships.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.scotsman.com/business/rosyth-to-zeebrugge-ferry-service-axed-1-4729040|title = Rosyth to Zeebrugge ferry service axed| date=23 April 2018 }}</ref>

In June 2022, it was reported that talks were underway to restore the ferry route, with [[DFDS Seaways|DFDS]] operating a freight service from early 2023, with passenger service expected by summer 2023, however as of 2024 this is yet to start.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-06-16 |title=Ferry between Scotland and continental Europe set to resume in 2023 |url=https://news.stv.tv/east-central/sole-ferry-link-between-scotland-and-continental-europe-set-to-resume-in-2023 |access-date=2022-08-26 |website=STV News |language=en-GB}}</ref>

== Building Rosyth ==

The fifteenth century [[Rosyth Castle]] stands on the perimeter of the dockyard complex, at the entry to the ferry terminal, and was once surrounded by the Firth of Forth on almost all sides, until land reclamation by the docks in the early 1900s.

The Scottish National Housing Company (SNHC) was a [[Public utility|public utility company]] set up in 1915 to provide houses for employees at Rosyth naval dockyard; shares were taken by Dunfermline town council with the [[Public Works Loan Board]] lending the money.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |date=31 July 1915 |title=Rosyth Town Planning Scheme |pages=12 |work=The Scotsman }}</ref> Work on building housing for the dockyard workers had been delayed due to disagreements between the Admiralty and Dunfermline council about who should take financial responsibility (1909–15).<ref>{{Cite book |last=Swenarton |first=Mark |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/7987677 |title=Homes fit for heroes : the politics and architecture of early state housing in Britain |date=1981 |publisher=Heinemann Educational Books |isbn=0-435-32994-4 |location=London |pages=44–47 |oclc=7987677}}</ref>  Some workers were accommodated in temporary huts called East and West Bungalow village and nicknamed 'tin town'.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Begg |first=Tom |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23901309 |title=50 special years : a study in Scottish housing |date=1987 |publisher=H.

From the first proposals for a new settlement at Rosyth, it was suggested it should be developed along [[Garden city movement|Garden City]] lines.<ref>{{Cite web |last=JKW |date=2022-10-24 |title=Rosyth Garden town |url=https://thepastandotherplaces.wordpress.com/2022/10/24/rosyth-garden-town/ |access-date=2022-11-02 |website=The Past and other Places |language=en-GB}}</ref>  The town planning scheme was passed in 1915 and the first houses were occupied in 1916.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2024-12-12 |title=Rosyth Dockyard: Naval Engineering Hub |url=https://www.ice.org.uk/what-is-civil-engineering/infrastructure-projects/rosyth-dockyard |access-date=2024-12-12 |website=Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) |language=en}}</ref>  [[Raymond Unwin]] was appointed advisor to the Admiralty.

==Economic redevelopment==

Scottish Enterprise Fife is now working in partnership with various private sector organisations to explore the future development of Rosyth. The agency is looking at ways to expand the ferry services to other European and domestic ports. It also wants to help create new business infrastructure in and around Rosyth – which in turn will bring economic benefits to [[Fife]] and beyond.

The main dock area – operated by Forth Ports – is ripe for further development.{{update after|2017|6|29}} Since opening in 1997, the port has seen rising timber and cargo vessels use the facility. Its warehouse and logistics facilities make an ideal choice for exporters and importers.

A private developer owned site was developed into an £80 million business park – called Rosyth Europarc. More than {{convert|13000|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} of office and hi-tech manufacturing have already been developed. Companies like Intelligent Finance and [[Bank of Scotland]] are on site. To complement these developments, a new £8.4 million road was built to provide an enhanced link to the nearby [[M90 motorway]].

== Transport ==
The [[M90 motorway]] and [[A823(M) motorway]] bypass the town which link Rosyth to [[Dunfermline]], [[Perth, Scotland|Perth]], and [[Kinross]] to the north, as well as [[South Queensferry]] and [[Edinburgh]] to the south.

The main road going through Rosyth is the [[A985 road]] which links the town with [[Inverkeithing]], [[Dalgety Bay]] to the east as well as the Kincardine Bridge to the west which links the town to [[Falkirk]], [[Stirling]] and [[Glasgow]].

There are plans to build a new "Park and Choose" facility in Rosyth next to [[Rosyth railway station]] which would allow more bus and train connections as well as take pressure off of Halbeath in Dunfermline and Ferrytoll in Inverkeithing's [[Park and ride]] bus stations. It could potentially bring new routes to Rosyth and increase passengers.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-04-15 |title=Next scheme arriving could be the park and choose at Rosyth train station |url=https://www.dunfermlinepress.com/news/19234483.rosyth-train-station-park-choose-facility-part-plans-speed-journeys/ |access-date=2024-09-13 |website=Dunfermline Press |language=en}}</ref>
