Ten facts about Dalgety Bay 1. Dalgety Bay is a new town in the west of Fife, situated between Inverkeithing on the west and Aberdour to the east. As the first private enterprise new town in Scotland, its origins go back a mere thirty odd years. As a place of human settlement, however, it goes back a very long way 2. Dalgety Bay began as the village of Dalgety, which was built on the site of the 12th century St Bridget's Kirk. The land surrounding the town was part of the estate owned by the Earls of Moray who built Donibristle House as their residence. 3. Concealed below the streets and dwellings of the new town of Dalgety Bay are the fields and ornamental parklands of a great landed estate. 4. Earl of Moray's Donibristle estate had already undergone substantial change during the First World War when the earl handed over part of his grounds for the construction of a military airfield. 5. The residences at St Davids adjoin a once busy coal port and that one of the oldest waggon-ways in Scotland once linked the coal-pits of Fordell to St Davids
6. Much of the industrial estate to the north of the town is built on the runway of the airfield, small sections of which are still to be seen. The tennis courts are based on the concrete floor of an aircraft hanger. 7. Dalgety Bay has 2 primary schools: Dalgety Bay Primary School and Donibristle Primary School. The high school for the area is Inverkeithing Academy. 8. Famous names linked to Dalgety Bay include Stephen Hendry, Gordon Durie and Steven Pressley 9. The population of Dalgety Bay is just over 10,000 and has a strong sense of community in the town. Dalgety Bay and Hillend were both winners in the Beautiful Fife awards 2011. 10. Dalgety Bay has a train station on the Edinburgh to Dundee rail line. Ideal for commuters working in either of these major cities.
