Background
History
The station was opened on 20 September 1847 by the Edinburgh and Northern Railway when they opened the line from to . The 1856 Ordnance survey shows just a station here. By 1895 the station had expanded, there were two platforms either side of a double track connected by a footbridge, a goods yard to the north west able to accommodate most types of goods including live stock and was equipped with a ¾ ton crane. Two camping coaches were positioned here by the Scottish Region in 1964. The railway viaduct (solid other than four tall arches) splits the old town of Kinghorn in half.
