SidingsName and dates
Gask SidingOpened on the West of Fife Mineral Railway.
Description
This siding was at the east end of the Lathalmond Branch. The siding was in fact a loop serving a loading stage. The looped and bank were on the north side of the line. By 1895 this was the end of the branch which had continued east to Lassodie Colliery.
Around 1915 a tramway was laid from the loading bank north west to Roscobie Lime Works. The tramway connecting this works to Roscobie Quarry predated this and was linked by the newer tramway to the railway.
