The town was founded as a garden city and was built to form the coastal port of Dunfermline which began in 1909. Currently, the port has the only direct ferry service to the European mainland from Scotland (The service stopped in September 2008 and is to restart in May 2009 under new operator Norfolkline). Rosyth is almost continuous with neighbouring Inverkeithing, separated only by the M90 motorway. Rosyth railway station is on the Fife Circle Line.
