In Rosyth, you can visit Rosyth Dockyard, a spacious naval dockyard where you can see Royal Navy vessels being refurbished. The building of the dockyards commenced in 1909 and as a result, Rosyth was planned as a 'garden city' to house the labourers. The dockyard served as a pivotal nuclear U-boat maintenance area during the period of the Cold War and during the World Wars.

Often referred to as the Forth Rail Bridge, the construction links the northern and southern parts of the nation, and from the bridge, you can enjoy a stunning view of the Forth River.
