Glenrothes is a large town situated in the heart of Fife, in east central Scotland. It is located approximately from both Edinburgh and Dundee.Planned in the late 1940s as one of Scotland's first new towns, Glenrothes is the administrative capital of Fife containing both the Fife Council and Fife Constabulary headquarters. It established itself as a major industrial centre in Scotland's Silicon Glen between the 1970s to the 1990s with several major electronics and hi-tech companies establishing a base in the town. Manufacturing and engineering industries remain to this day important to the town's economy. Glenrothes is unique in Fife as the majority of the town's centre is contained indoors, within Fife's largest indoor shopping centre - The Kingdom Shopping Centre.
