Rosyth (Scottish Gaelic: Ros Fhìobh, "headland of Fife") is a town in Fife, Scotland, on the Firth of Forth. Scotland's first Garden City, the town is located 3 miles south of Dunfermline city centre and 10½ miles northwest of Edinburgh city centre.
Rosyth town was founded in 1909 along with Rosyth naval dockyard, built as the coastal port of Dunfermline. 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.
Today, Rosyth is a suburb commuter town of Edinburgh and Dunfermline. Rosyth railway station is on the Fife Circle Line, the town is bypassed by the M90 motorway, and is almost contiguous with neighbouring Dunfermline and Inverkeithing. Rosyth is home to 12 Historic Scotland listed buildings.
