The wall mounted sign points the way to the main entrance to the Boathouse Bistro, located alongside Loch Leven Pier and seen here in October 2007. The rustic old building could not provide more of a contrast with its modern annex, in fact the date engraved on the keystone above the window on the left is 1866. This is the year of opening of Kelty station, located 5 miles to the south, where the building originally formed part of the goods facilities. Kelty station closed to passengers in 1930 although the line north to Kinross remained in use for goods traffic until 1970.
