Glenrothes is a town situated in the heart of Fife, in east-central Scotland. The name Glenrothes comes from its historical link with the Earl of Rothes, who owned much of the land on which the new town has been built; “Glen” (Scottish for valley) was added to the name to avoid confusion with Rothes in Moray and in recognition that the town lies in a river valley. The motto of Glenrothes is Ex terra vis, meaning “From the earth strength”, which dates back to the founding of the town.
