Kirkcaldy railway station

A further two bus stops are located on Whyte Melville Road, one of which is adjacent to the entrance and the other opposite University of Dundee Nursing Kirkcaldy Campus.

This led for pressure to support a new line from Burntisland to Newport-on-Tay and Tayport via Kinghorn, Kirkcaldy, Markinch and Cupar in 1840.

[5] In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the station was surrounded by various linoleum works, which had sidings allowing the product to be shipped via the main line.

The station, circa 1910, facing north. In the background is the Barry, Ostlere and Shepherd Caledonia Linoleum Works.
