Scope and Content Elevation of Haymarket Station office block, Edinburgh Haymarket Station was originally the head office and terminus of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. It was designed by the civil engineer John Miller or possibly by David Bell, who prepared some designs for him in the 1840s. The beautifully proportioned two-storeyed office block is built in stone in a Classical style with a Doric porch or portico. The building has advanced end bays and five centrally recessed bays. By 1845 the railways were booming in Scotland. This led to many changes. People became more mobile, towns were linked, perishable goods could be moved long distances, and economic growth was encouraged. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
