Tour Scotland video of cloudy day ride on a diesel passenger train on ancestry visit to Ladybank, Fife, Scotland. Ladybank railway station was opened in 1847 by the Edinburgh and Northern Railway on their line from Burntisland, being the point at which the line divided into two branches to Cupar and Lindores. The latter branch was subsequently extended to Hilton Junction, near Perth, Perthshire, the following year. On 6 June 1857, the Fife and Kinross Railway opened, providing a link to Kinross. This line was closed to passengers on 6 June 1950, with the line between Auchtermuchty and Ladybank closing to freight on 29 January 1957. These days the station is served by two trains per hour to and from Edinburgh, one of these is the hourly service to Dundee and the other runs to Perth.
