Scope and Content Ratho Station, Midlothian This station was built for the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway, Scotland's first inter-city railway. It was some distance from the village it served, so closed in the 1930s. The station buildings were on the east-bound platform. This view shows the station buildings from the east. They were built on a U-plan, with an awning between the wings As was usual in the early days of railways, the building incorporated a house for the agent, still occupied in 1974. This signal box was demolished when the line was resignalled a few years after this photograph was taken. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
