Scope and Content Kinross Station (from 1890 known as Loch Leven Station) This station was originally the terminus of a branch line built in stages from Ladybank in the 1850s, and linked through to form a loop in 1860. The buildings surviving in 1974 were probably of that period. The line closed in 1970. This view shows the brick and timber buildings of the two-platform through station. The railways in this part of Scotland were constructed as part of the 'cheap railway' movement of the 1850s, hence the basic nature of these buildings. Though the railway on which this station was situated did not close until 1970, this station had closed in 1921,as the town of Kinross was also served by Kinross Junction Station, built for the North British line to Perth, opened in 1890.
