Wemyss Bay Station Pier & Bar

Built in 1903 this video shows the beautiflly restored Wemyss Bay Station and Pier. There is also a brief glimps inside the Station bar, where for the passing traveller or local, it provides a haven of tranquility and a hint of days gone by....There is in the winter a roaring coal fire to warm the cockles of your heart along with a malt from their well stocked gantry. Thanks to the locals and staff for permission to film within, and also the unprompted commentary.
The station is also home to the Friends of Wemyss Bay Pier they have a bookshop located within the station concourse.

Scotrail's Adopt-a-Station is a success with this fantastic station. The boys at the bor are probably right in saying it's brilliant. The idea is to go there by train to the Rothesay boat as the car parking is so limited anyway. I enquired how much it wid cost tae take the cor oor tae Rothesay... aboot 30 quid return. Super video by the way!!

Glad to see the flower stands back. My dad was born in Wemyss Bay and left at 14 to come to Halifax - we went back most years when I was a child. He died 2 years ago next month, but Wemyss Bay will always be special to us.
