Scope and Content Anstruther Station, Fife This station was opened in 1883 by the Anstruther & St Andrews Railway, which was promoted to link the two towns in its name, forming a through route from Thornton Junction to Leuchars. The original Anstruther station, opened in 1863 by the Leven & East of Fife Railway, was by-passed. This shows the station building on the west-bound platform from an east-bound train. This building was more elaborate than the other station buildings on the line. From the 1920s this platform handled all through trains. The East of Fife Railway reached Kilconquhar in 1857, and the line was extended to Anstruther in 1863 by the Leven and East of Fife Railway. A link to St Andrews was finally completed in 1887. The whole of the East Neuk line (except the St Andrews branch from Leuchars) was closed in 1965. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
