Introduction

This line closed in 1966 (with the exception of Leven [2nd] station). It opened in 1857, extending the Leven Railway east from Leven to Kilconquhar. In Leven the original terminus Leven [1st] was replaced by a through station, Leven [2nd], located further east.

The line merged with the Leven Railway to became the Leven and East of Fife Railway in 1861, being extended to Anstruther [1st]. It became part of the Fife Coast Line in 1883 when the Anstruther and St Andrews Railway joined railways in the north and south of the east of Fife.

The last portion of the line in use was in Leven, reaching Leven [2nd] from the west, closed in 1969.

An almost entirely single track and scenic line, popular with tourists, it is missed.

The largest structure on the route was the Largo Viaduct, which still stands.
