Dalgety Bay

Dalgety Bay (i/dælˈɡɛti ˈbeɪ/, Scots: Dawgety) is a coastal town in Fife, Scotland, on the north shore of the Firth of Forth. According to Fife Council, the town is home to 10,030, making this the eighth-largest place in Fife. The bay was named after the original village of Dalgety, but the ruins of the 12th century St. Bridget's Kirk are all that now mark the site. The new town, which was built in 1962, 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.

Today, Dalgety Bay is as a dormitory suburb of Edinburgh. While the architecture of the town reflects construction by volume housebuilders, the town is a regular winner of the Best Kept Small Town title. Its rise in population mirrors its rise in popularity as a coastal commuter town.

A series of radioactive objects have been found on the shoreline of Dalgety Bay since the 1990s. The objects are believed to come from eroded landfill that contains debris from Second World War aircraft that originally had radium control dials. As of 2012, the Ministry of Defence is conducting a 12 month investigation of the contamination to try and avoid Dalgety Bay "becoming the first place in the UK to be legally designated as radioactive contaminated land".
