About

Glenrothes West and Kinglassie encompasses the western neighbourhoods of the post-war new town alongside a distinct, historic village to the south. The area is characterised by residential housing, local retail parks, and community facilities serving the town's population. Industrial estates and business parks are integrated into the layout, reflecting Glenrothes's planned economic function within the region.

To the south, the ward includes the former mining village of Kinglassie, which maintains its own separate identity with a more traditional settlement pattern. The landscape here transitions towards agricultural land and wooded areas. A notable local feature is the visible presence of the Leslie Hills, which form a distinct backdrop to the southern parts of the ward.
