Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a passenger train leaving the railway station on history visit to Ladybank, Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Services through the station are mainly to Edinburgh and Dundee and Aberdeen. Ladybank is also the junction for services to Perth along a single track route via Newburgh. When the Edinburgh and Northern Railway was constructed in the 1840s, a junction was built here with lines heading towards Perth and Dundee. An engine depot, of which only the disused locomotive shed survives, and a railway station were constructed at the junction. The station was named Ladybank Station rather than Ladybog Station', and the village that developed around the station took the name Ladybank. The Fife and Kinross Railway, which opened in 1857, used Ladybank as its eastern terminus further increasing the importance of the station. Ladybank railway station remains largely unaltered, and may be the oldest unaltered station in Scotland. The village became a burgh in 1878, and became an industrial centre, with linen weaving, coal mining, and malting the principal industries. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
