Scope and Content Cupar Station, Station Road, Cupar, Fife This railway station was built in 1847 by the Edinburgh & Northern Railway to serve the county town of Fife, and was designed, probably by David Bell, architect, on a lavish scale and in the Italianate style fashionable for railway buildings in the 1840s. This shows the north-bound platform from the railway side, looking north-east. The cast iron columns supporting the solid-roofed awning have lotus capitals in an Egyptian manner. The space between the tracks was at one time occupied by a loop line. This is the finest surviving pre-1850 railway station in Scotland. The goods facilities included a granary and coal drops, both now converted into offices. The south-bound platform is reached by a three-arched overbridge with a segregated footpath for passengers.
