Part of the OS One Inch map of 1945 showing part of the then county of Kinross.  Kinross-shire was not large, and even this small extract shows its only town and its only substantial village (locally pronounced Mills-i-forth, for some reason).  Two junctions on the NBR Perth direct line are shown: Kinross, for the Devon Valley line to Alloa; and Mawcarse, the junction for the line to Auchtermuchty and Ladybank. Mawcarse was - and is - nothing but a house, but the station survived 14 years after the closure of the branch until the main line was closed in 1964.  Crown copyright 1945.
