About Rosyth
Dunfermline was effectively the capital of Scotland from the 11th century. It was reached from Edinburgh by the "Queen's Ferry" and a highway, later designated A823 / B980. The town grew rapidly to the east and south through 19th century coal-mining and other industry, and Rosyth and Inverkeithing were its main ports. In 1909 Rosyth was hived off to become a separate "garden city" or planned development along the highway from the ferry. Commercial shipping moved elsewhere, but Rosyth developed into a large Royal Navy base, with docks and various on-shore facilities. In 1964 the Forth Road Bridge opened, connecting with the M90 motorway north to Perth, and with a spur A823(M) for Dunfermline. These roads took the through-traffic off the historic highway and became the east and north boundar
