Relocating to Fife As well as the meaningful and fulfilling work onsite there are lots of great reasons for making Rosyth your new home. We’re based in the historic Scottish county of Fife, the third largest local authority in Scotland and home to over 360,000 people. Most of our team live close by, with the majority situated in the town of Rosyth or in Dunfermline, which was recently named the best city in the UK for quality of life due to its low house prices, and its culture and amenities. Fife itself has been voted the ‘No 1 outdoor destination’ by Scottish Natural Heritage for the past eight years – with 4,961 listed buildings, 48 conservation areas and 117 miles of coastline, it’s a place full of history and natural beauty. If you’re a sports fan, then there is plenty for you to do. There are 50 golf courses across the region including the world-famous St Andrews, the home of Golf and its world governing body The R&A. It also has the only FIA-graded motorsport venue in Scotland Knockhill Racing Circuit, with Cowdenbeath Racing and Lochgelly Raceway also easily accessible. Dunfermline Athletic are the closest Scottish football league team, with Raith Rovers further along the coast at Kirkcaldy. There are excellent regional transport links. Rosyth is just a stone’s throw from the Forth Bridge that leads south to Edinburgh across the Firth of Forth. Road and rail links can see you quickly travel to Stirling, Falkirk, and Glasgow in the west or Perth and Dundee in the north. The closest airport is Edinburgh International, which is less than a 40-minute car journey away.
