About Rothsay
Rothsay is an abandoned town in the Mid West region of Western Australia, situated between the towns of Dalwallinu and Mount Magnet. A prospector named George Woodley discovered gold in the area in 1894 and initially the area was known as Woodley's Find. Within a year all of the leases had been pegged and in 1895 Woodley sold his claim to a Scottish mining company. The townsite, gazetted in 1898, is thought to be named after the Scottish town of Rothesay.
