Ex Terra
This striking sculpture outside Glenrothes' bus station was the first major work of public art in Glenrothes. Its name derives from the motto of Glenrothes Development Corporation "Ex Terra Vis" (From the Earth comes Life) which refers to the town's roots in the mining industry. Created in 1965 by renowned sculptor Benno Schotz (1891-1984) it shows a maternal figure emerging, tree-like, from the ground, symbolising the growth of the town.

The shoppers
Their bag is getting heavy, their feet are getting sore and they've sat down on a convenient bench in Lyon Square for a moment's rest. Just one of the more quirky of the many public artworks in the new town of Glenrothes, this one being in the Kingdom Shopping Centre mall.

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.
