The Town of Glenrothes in Fife, Scotland, has a distinctive and diverse collection of public art set within a carefully planned urban landscape, dating from 1965 to the present. A spirit of collective enterprise driven by a range of social ideals was given focus through the pioneering appointment of a “Town Artist” by the Glenrothes Development Corporation in 1968. Often taking the history of the area as its inspiration, the art helps to define the identity of the town.
