About Glenrothes

Glenrothes is a town arranged in the core of Fife, in east-focal Scotland. It is around 30 miles north of Edinburgh and 30 miles south of Dundee. The town had a populace of 39,277 in the 2011 enumeration, making it the third biggest settlement in Fife and the 18th most crowded settlement in Scotland. The name Glenrothes originates from its verifiable connection with the Earl of Rothes, who claimed a significant part of the arrive on which the new town has been fabricated; "Glen" Scottish for valley was added to the name to stay away from perplexity with Rothes in Moray and in acknowledgment that the town lies in a waterway valley.

The saying of Glenrothes is Ex land vis, signifying "From the earth quality", which goes back to the establishing of the town. Arranged in the late 1940s as one of Scotland's first post-second world war new towns, its unique reason for existing was to house mineworkers who were to work at a recently settled coal mine, the Rothes Colliery. After the mine shut, the town created as an essential modern focus in Scotland's Silicon Glen somewhere in the range of 1961 and 2000, with a few noteworthy hardware and howdy tech organizations setting up offices in the town. The Glenrothes Development Corporation GDC, a semi independent non-legislative organisation, was set up to create, oversee and advance the new town.
