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 coal drops in the goods station, in which coal could be discharged through the bottom doors of wagons straight into lorries. As can be seen the arches were still used by a coal merchant in 1967. This is the finest surviving pre-1850 railway station in Scotland. The south-bound platform is reached by a three-arched overbridge with a segregated footpath for passengers. The granary and coal drops have been converted into offices.
