Kinghorn

View north showing the main station building at Kinghorn on 20 December 2008. Like all other E&N stations on the 1847 Burntisland to Cupar line (apart from the original Burntisland itself when it was a ferry terminal) Kinghorn had a flat canopy supported by closely-spaced plain columns.  This colonnade has since been boxed in with wood and the ticket window moved to what was the outside wall.  An ornate lamp-bracket attached to one column was cut round and survives, most of it indoors.  Other surviving buildings from 1846/7 are Markinch, Ladybank, Springfield and Cupar. Springfield, though long a private house, is closest to how Kinghorn would originally have looked.
