Glenrothes early history
Fife | Glenrothes | Stone circle & henge | ★ [Balfarg Henge, Glenrothes] Glenrothes is Fife's third largest settlement, a new town built after the Second World War to help with housing demand around Edinburgh . Almost all its shops are housed in the Kingdom Shopping Centre, a useful but labyrinthal complex reminiscent of an airport terminal. It doesn't sound promising, but in Scotland history is never far away. The residential suburb of Balbarg has a 65 metres across, 6,000 year old henge and parts of a stone circle at its centre. There's a further stone circle just across the A92 which is a mere 4,000 years old.
