Rosyth station to be brightened up after 'adoption' by Rotary Club
11 August-
Rosyth station has been 'adopted' by the Rotary Club, who will look after hanging baskets
Rosyth station has been 'adopted' by members of the local community - as the local Rotary club welcomed the task of brightening up the station.
Members of Inverkeithing and Dalgety Bay Rotary Club - which also covers Rosyth - have agreed to provide and maintain decorative floral planters at the station - which is the 101st station in Scotland to join the scheme.
The club members will take it in turns to water, weed and care for the displays as part of ScotRail's growing Adopt a Station initiative.
Passengers travelling to and from the station will now have their journeys enhanced by the floral displays which will be changed by the Rotarians throughout the year.
The substantial planters were manufactured by Timbercraft, a local company with connections to Rotary.
John Yellowlees, External Relations Manager for train operator ScotRail, said at the recent handover ceremony at Dalgety Bay station: "We are delighted that Inverkeithing and Dalgety Bay Rotary Club have taken the number of ScotRail stations adopted by volunteer gardeners to, and beyond, the three figure mark."
Bob Tait, President of Inverkeithing and Dalgety Bay Rotary Club, said that while the club was already very active in the local community, members were especially pleased to be involved with the new project.
He added: "I am confident that the floral displays will be appreciated by rail travellers and local residents as is the case for the displays we already support at Aberdour's award winning station."
