Description

Burntisland Station, located on Forth Place in Burntisland, is a two-platform through station that opened in 1890, designed to replace the original station from 1847 associated with the Edinburgh and Northern Railway. The station is situated on a curved site and features a single-storey waiting room and office on the south side.

The building is constructed of brick with a rusticated bull-faced ashlar facade, a raked plinth, and stone margins. It has a timber fronted awning with a corrugated-iron roof supported by five fluted cast-iron columns, which are adorned with decorative spandrels.

On the northeast elevation, there is a blocked wide-arched entrance at the center, with a window to the right, a door and another window beyond, and two large openings to the outer right. To the left of the center, there is a door, two windows beyond, and another door in the penultimate bay to the left, with a window to the outer left.

The windows primarily feature a four-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case style. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is a coped ashlar stack, a plain bargeboard, and a kingpost.
