Scope and Content Waverley Station, Edinburgh Waverley Station was designed by James Bell, chief engineer for the North British Railway, in 1868-74 to replace an earlier station on the same site. At the time of opening, its 13-acre glass roof was one of the largest in the world. The area of the station is covered with glazed transverse valley roofs, carried on lattice girders between slim iron columns cast by the iron-founders, Hannah, Donald and Wilson. Despite opposition from the Princes Street residents, who had Princes Street Gardens landscaped for their own use in the 1820s, the railway line from Glasgow was constructed through the gardens in 1844 to the new Waverley Station at the east end.
