High Port

Ascends the hill under the railway bridge, immediately after which Back Station Road doubles back to the split-level station at platform level. The gracious Linlithgow Station, c.1840, probably John Miller, is a rare first-generation station for the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway; good stone, cast-iron platform canopy, barrel-vaulted and glazed porch, and south platform waiting-room. Vivid mural by Marie-Louise Coulouris.
