Defence Munitions Crombie is munitions storage depot in West Fife and lies midway between Crombie and Charlestown. The site commenced operations in 1916. It was formerly known as RNAD Crombie, and DMC Crombie. It is now operated as part of the UK's Defence Storage and Distribution Agency.[1]

History

DM Crombie formally served as the primary munitions depot for Rosyth Naval Yard. Since the naval yard's closure, DM Crombie has been retained primarily as a loading/off-loading facility for naval vessels and the storage and maintenance of the Royal Air Force’s air launched weapons.[1] The site occupies about 200 acres and employs around 200 people.[2]
