Standing stone Memorial
Unlike most British towns and cities, because it was established only in 1948 Glenrothes has no war memorial to servicemen who fell in WW1 and WW2. The loss in Iraq in 2004 of two local soldiers from the Black Watch highlighted the lack of a war memorial in the town and in 2007 this impressive one, designed by Alan Bisset, was inaugurated on Remembrance Day in November 2007. Combining hard and soft landscaping, with six standing stones of slate, it is intended to represent Past, Present and Future.

The Dream
An exact replica of this 1985 bronze-cast sculpture by Malcolm Robertson (which celebrates the natural friendship of young people regardless of race or colour) was gifted by Glenrothes to the people of their twin town, Böblingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The sculpture, whose figures were based on local Glenrothes children, is located evocatively close to the standing stones of Glenrothes' War Memorial, visible here in the background.

Coat of Arms
Fife Coat of Arms on Kingdom House Glenrothes. The arms were granted in 1927, Supporters were added in March 1976 for the Regional Council and July 1, 1997 for the Area Council.
The arms of Fife show a Scottish Knight, and are based on a seal of Duncan, Earl of Fife dating from 1360. The knight has been described as the Thane of Fife. The County Council used only the motto 'Virtute et Opera' (By Virtue and Energy), but no supporters or crown. The motto was used by the clan MacDuff. The Regional Council used as supporters the unicorn common to all Regional Councils, and St. Servanus, patron saint of the Culross Abbey and Fife Burgh. As a crown the coronet for Regional Councils was used.
