Scope and Content Markinch Station, Fife This station was opened in 1847 by the Edinburgh & Northern Railway, as part of their line from Burntisland to Tayport. It is a very unusual station, with the main building not on, but above, the platform, at the level of the road access. This shows the station from the south-east, with the main building at the upper level, and a wooden platform shelter, on the north-bound platform, at the lower level. The road bridge on the right also serves as a footbridge. The low-pitched roof and overhanging eaves of the main building are typical of the 1840s. Thomas Grainger, as engineer to the railway company, was responsible for the construction of this building, but the architect may have been David Bell, who designed other buildings on the line. This station forms, with the other original station buildings on the route, the finest group of 1840s stations in Scotland. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
