Dalgety Bay (/dælˈɡɛtiˈbeɪ/ⓘ) is a coastal town and parish in Fife, Scotland, on the north shore of the Firth of Forth, 9 miles from Edinburgh city centre. The civil parish is the 8th largest in Fife with a population of 10,777 (2011)[1][2]
Dalgety bay was named after the original village of Dalgety, evident by the ruins of the 12th century St Bridget's Kirk. The root of the place-name Dalgety is the Scottish Gaelic word dealg, 'thorn', and the full name originally meant 'the place of the thorn[-bushes]'.[3] The new town, of which building started in 1965, takes its name from the main bay it adjoins, but the town stretches over many bays and coves including Donibristle Bay and St David's Bay.
Dalgety Bay is a commuter town and around 30% of the towns' workers work in Edinburgh.[4] While the architecture of the town reflects construction by volume housebuilders, the town is a regular winner of the Best Kept Small Town title.[5] Dalgety Bay contains 9 Listed Buildings or structures by Historic Scotland.
