Perth to Kinross via Glenfarg
(Part I - Bridge of Earn to Glenfarg)
The most direct rail route from Edinburgh to Perth was the North British route via the Forth Bridge and Cowdenbeath.
The Cowdenbeath to Kinross section of the line was opened in June 1860. The line left the Dunfermline to Thornton
line at Cowdenbeath North Junction and ran north with stations at Kelty, Blairadam, and a curler's platform at Loch Leven.
The original terminus of the line was located at Loch Leven but known as Kinross. The line was extended to into Kinross
and the station was named Hopefield.
