Scope and Content North Leith Passenger Station (1846-1947), Edinburgh Leith ( North) - ex Caledonian Railway This shows the station from the east. It had been closed to passengers since 1947, and was being used as a coppersmiths' shop by Smith & McGowan. The wall to the left with the blocked arches was the side of the train shed with its overall roof, removed by 1970. This station was built to serve traffic to the Leith Old Docks. The Caledonian Railway opened a station nearby in 1879, and the North British Railway, who had inherited this station, opened Leith Central Station in 1903. All three have now closed. This one is now a youth club. This station was built as the Leith terminus of the Edinburgh, Leith & Granton Railway, and opened in 1846. Behind the Classical street frontage was a single platform with an overall roof. The station was designed by Grainger & Miller. It was known for many years, from 1952 onwards, as Leith Citadel Goods Station. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
