Scope and Content Haymarket Station, Edinburgh The first station here was the Edinburgh terminus of the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway, which had a two-storey masonry office block at street level, with the company's board room on the first floor, and a cast-iron-framed train shed on lower level. This view shows the stairway from the office block on the left, which incorporated the booking office, to the arcaded train shed below The cast iron gate and gatepier/lamp-post are probably of 1842. The train shed was later carefully dismantled and taken to Bo'ness, where it is part of the Scottish Railway Preservation Society's station, serving as well, as it did when first built, as a carriage shed.
