Scope and Content Aerial view of Kincardine Power Station, Kincardine-on-Forth, Fife Kincardine Power Station, a 760,000 kilowatt steam turbine generating station, was commissioned in 1954 by the South of Scotland Electricity Board. It was designed 1954-8 and built 1958-60 and features architectural design work by Robert Matthew, Johnson-Marshall & Partners. The building was demolished in 2000. This shows the main block, designed to fit around the combustion chambers, generators and turbines which convert steam to electricity. The upper walls of the main block and supporting buildings on the sea front block (bottom) are clad in aluminium sheeting, and lower walls are of coloured brick. Long strips of glazing light the interior. Coal arrived at the power station via the conveyors (top left) direct from a pit-head to the west of the site. Waste gases are released through the two chimneys, each almost 122m high, and waste ash sent as sludge to settling ponds at the Longannet disposal works. This building has been selected as one of Scotland's key 20th-century Modern architectural monuments. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
