Former Station House, Units 1-11, 12 and 12A Forth Place, Burntisland

The former Station House, now comprising Units 1-11, 12 and 12A Forth Place, was designed and built in 1847 by Grainger and Miller Engineers. It served as a rectangular-plan, two-storey, eight-bay station terminus building in a classical style, initially for ferry passengers travelling between Granton in Edinburgh and the Fife railway system, as well as holidaymakers. The building is constructed in sandstone ashlar, with coursed whinstone to the rear. A prominent advanced colonnade runs across the principal elevation, flanked by pedimented entrance bays; the northern bay extends into a further five-bay, single-storey section. The rear elevation has irregular window placement, and triangular markings indicate the former location of a glass-roofed structure.

Attached to the rear at a right angle is a single-storey, 14-bay platform waiting room block, connected by a steel beam. This block is built in ashlar to its principal (south) elevation and random rubble to the rear (north), with a piended slate roof and corniced stone ridge stacks. It features boarded doors with penlights above.

The station house and platform waiting rooms first appeared on the 1854 Ordnance Survey map, forming a group around Forth Place alongside the Forth Hotel and the Ferry Pier (now demolished). The original station house and platform waiting rooms were connected by large, glazed roof structures, the remains of which are visible in the rear gable of the station house.

The construction of the Forth Rail Bridge from the 1870s led to the replacement of the original Burntisland Station building (a separately listed structure) in 1890, establishing a direct rail link to Fife. The 1895 Ordnance Survey map shows the Station House connected to the new station, and a later revision from 1913 indicates the glass roof structure had been removed. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the buildings were converted into artists' workshop spaces.
