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 building from the north-east, illustrating its symmetrical layout and the long solid-roofed awning. Note that the windows in the nearer pavilion which face the track are 'blind' (have been blocked up). 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.
