101 Iain McKenzieThis is a good venue and one that is important to the locals of the area!

104 Stuart MitchellThis quarry is a valuable and much loved local resource for Fife, Lothian and Central Belt rock climbers. It is also used by locals who would lose yet another part of scarce recreational ground close to home if the development went ahead. As climbers and some locals are committed to clearing up the quarry and making a more agreeable place for all, I would urge the council to reject this application on the grounds of the quarry being at least a recreational resource of significant regional importance.

106 James HendryNever been climbing there, so can't say how brilliant it is, but but would like the chance to find out.

109 AnonymousRosyth Quarry is a very good natural venue for climders and should be done away with.
110 Kenneth GillenDon't let them do it!
111 Ian JonesAre there no other suitable sites for housing developments in the Inverkeithing/Rosyth area? This is a valuable recreational resource for climbers in and around Edinburgh. I would urge the council to reject this application.
112 Iain ForrestIt'd be a shame to lose a part of our already limited climbing resource in Central Scotland.
113 Tristan StrickerNO WAY MAN, SAVE ROSYTH QUARRY
114 Alan RosieI've just started outdoor climbing, this venue is easy to get to from Edinburgh and a good level for beginners. It would be a sad loss to fill in this venue which has kept generation of climbers happy

116 Malcolm AireyRosyth Quarry is a very useful resource in the area, used by climbers, (personal and instructional groups), dog walkers, mountain bikers, ramblers, and many others. The central belt has relatively few disused quarries as suitable for climbers of all ages and abilities, and it would be a shame to see a great one lost.
117 Michael GreenThey wouldn't consider bulldozing a park or football pitch why should a climbing venue be worth less?

119 Dermot LoganImportant local climbing venue. Would be a loss to the area
120 Sean RiversHave climbed here a couple of times and on both occasions saw lots of kids having a great time being introduced to the sport by parents, friends and instructors. This quarry serves a great deal of people, especially beginners to the sport. It would be disappointing to lose this great resource for at a time where our government is trying to get more kids fit and is touting Scotland's abundance of extreme sport activities on TV adverts.

122 Peter HemmingsI do not want to see the distruction of the Quarry. This is a well know venue and is ferquently visited by climbers.
123 Mark LydonHeathy & Cathy are central belt classic climbs!

125 Isla MilnThis would be a travesty for many ! I have very fond memories of starting out climbing here and I'm sure many others have similar memories . Although it is not a landmark crag , I feel it still has a valuable place in Scottish climbing - especially for those starting out . I live in the states now , but still feel strongly that we have little enough rock in the lowlands area that can be climbed on - so I really hope it is saved .
126 George AllanA popular climbing venue which must not be lost.

131 AnonymousAs a novice climber I just recently discovered Rosyth quarry and have been fortunate to recent some tuition there from fellow climbers. I hope to continue to use the quarry to increase my climbing competence.

134 Craig BurryRosyth was the first outdoor spot that I climbed at after moving down to edinburgh. It is an INVALUABLE spot for beginners to progress in an accessible location and for those in the Edinburgh & Fife area to get outside and climb on a summer evening. Aside from climbing, I wonder where the quarries other regulars will be going if this area is back-filled? This is an opportunity to secure a great wee spot in the outdoors; it's up to local climbers to take a stand against the decimiation of areas like this and preserve the opportunity for climbers, particularly beginners, to experience climbing on real rock in the outdoors in their local area.
135 Sarah MageeI strongly feel that it would be a great shame if this quarry were not available to climbers in the future.

138 James MageeI learnt to climb here, would be a shame to lose the facility
139 Nick HorderThe quarry must be kept open for climbing.
140 Alistair MontgomeryI implore Wimpey to preserve a valueable public recreational amenity of the quarry and ask them to tastefully landscape it and save the clibing on the quarry walls.

143 Tomas FrydrychRosyth quarry has been the place where a friend introduced me to climbing many years back, and I have never looked back. This is about the only climbing venue in the Central Belt that has enough short, low grade climbs for a complete beginner to be introduced to the sport and to learn the basics, and its loss would be felt gravely.
144 Ross Hewitt
145 Graeme WalkerIt would be an outrage if this important climbing venue was lost forever. This can not be allowed to happen
146 Kai IvaloRosyth quarry offers a great introduction to rock climbing. In this day and age of obesity, poor diet, video/computer gaming addicts and limited facilities for sport, I'd have thought that the protection of a wonderful local resource would have been a simple decision to make. Don't get rid of it, protect or even 'invest' in it. Use your imagination as to what it could do and bring in for the local area.
147 James RichardsonHaving climbed at Rosyth Quarry over the years this venue provides an easily accessible climbing venue in the central belt: the edinburgh area in particular has few worthwhile outcrops.
148 AnonymousRosyth Quarry is a valuable resource for introducing old and young to outdoor pursuits. It is especially useful as a venue for those learning to climb. It is time planners realised that they cannot just go on approving more houses without considering that the people in the houses already built and approved need access to recreational facilities. THey are diminishing the latter at the expense of more housing.
149 Simon Christy
150 Neil AndersonI value this quarry as a place to rock climb
