History

The station opened as Kinross sometime after 20 September 1860 by the North British Railway. To the northwest was a goods yard and a locomotive shed. Its name was changed to Loch Leven on 1 October 1871 when the Devon Valley Railway opened. To the south, also opposite the goods yard, was the signal box. The station closed on 1 September 1921.[1] The signal box was downgraded to a ground frame in 1957.[2]
