Name and dates
Burntisland New Pier (1901-1960)Opened on the Edinburgh and Northern Railway.
Description
This pier opened in 1901 to replace the Burntisland Albert Pier which was removed during the construction of the Burntisland East Dock.
A temporary pier was in use until this pier was built. The pier was outwith the east dock, to the west of its lock entrance, and featured a slip and a North British Railway style building with a canopy. The lettering on the canopy read 'GRANTON - BURNTISLAND FERRY - BOOKING OFFICE - PAY HERE. '
The ferry service to Granton Pier continued after the opening of the Forth Bridge in 1890, running from this pier. (See Granton Pier entry for more detail.)
