This elegant building dates from 1847 and was the original station building, when Burntisland was the northern terminus of the world's first roll-on roll-off rail ferry to Granton in Edinburgh. It was replaced by the new station behind the original which was built to connect with the new line to Inverkeithing and the opening of the Forth Bridge in 1890. The old building is now occupied by an art studio and other businesses.
