There’s more to many stations in Tayside and Fife than simply catching a train – many are now doubling as important artistic and cultural hubs.

Several of these projects were made possible by Scot-Rail’s “adopt-a-station”scheme, launched over a decade ago, which recognised the role of stations at the heart of communitie­s.

Now, 10 of these unique venues on the east coast mainline railway through Fife will be the focus of The Artline Open Doors Weekend on April 29 – 30.

From North Queensferr­y to Cupar, once vacant rooms in station buildings have been refurbishe­d as artists’ studios or heritage centres, welcoming visitors.

If travelling by train, visitors will be able to visit all the venues in a day and enjoy the scenery.

Features include the newly opened Aberdour Signal Box Studio, used by artist Lynette Gray.
