Rosyth Castle, Rosyth, Fife which dates back to the 1400s has only recently been the centre of attraction due to the change of ownership of Rosyth Dockyard. When the Royal Navy occupied the area the castle was hidden from view and situated within the boundaries of Navy property. Visitors to Scotland arriving on the Zeebrugge ferry will be more familiar with the building as it can be seen from the road when leaving the terminal building. Legends state that Mary Queen of Scots used the building as a resting place and Oliver Cromwells mother was born there.
