Scope and Content Forth Hotel, Forth Place, Burntisland, Fife This hotel had its origin in the parish church manse of 1823-4, designed by William Burn. It was much enlarged and altered in 1843 to designs by John Henderson, to serve as an interface between the ferry to Granton and linking coach services, and as a harbour office. This shows the complex from the south, with the former manse on the right, and the harbour office on the left. The pend leads to stabling at the rear. The hotel served for a time as the control centre for train services in Fife. It was still used as 'control' in 1967, but fell out of use for that purpose shortly afterwards, and lay derelict for many years. From 1847, when the Edinburgh & Northern Railway opened, until 1890, when the Forth Bridge opened, it served effectively as a railway hotel. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
