About

Glenrothes Central and Thornton ward encompasses the planned town centre of Glenrothes alongside the older, adjacent settlement of Thornton. The area is characterised by post-war architecture and civic spaces, including the Kingdom Shopping Centre and the surrounding network of pedestrianised walkways and underpasses. The topography is largely flat, with the River Leven forming a green corridor along the southern edge of the central zone.

Thornton, to the north-east, has a distinct identity centred on its historic railway junction and industrial heritage. The landscape here becomes more mixed, with residential streets, retail parks, and areas of light industry. A notable local feature is the preserved, manually operated Thornton railway signal box, which continues to control level crossings on the main Fife Circle line, contrasting with the modern town planning nearby.
