This New Town was originally built to provide housing for miners ad the new Thornton Super-Mine. The Thornton mine never happened so Glenrothes had to attract other indistries to support itself. In its time Glenrothes has played host to a large variety of engineering, electronics, and other manufacturing industries. Because it is a New Town, everything has been carefully planned in the style people seemed to think was best around the 1960s. In other words, it's all concrete and roundabouts.
