Old Photograph Railway Station Torryburn Fife Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station in Torryburn, Fife, Scotland. This, now closed, station was part of the Dunfermline To Kincardine-On-Forth Railway. Torryburn grew around coal mining in the 19th century. An early example of a colliery pumping engine designed by James Watt was set going here in 1778. In 1822 Alison Cunningham was born in Torryburn. She later became the nurse to Robert Louis Stevenson. Torryburn is one of a number of old port communities on this coast and at one point served as port for Dunfermline.
