Scotland Street Station was a railway station which stood in a cutting at the north end of Scotland Street, in Edinburgh, Scotland. First opened as Canonmills by the Edinburgh, Leith and Newhaven Railway, Scotland Street stood at the southern end of Scotland Street Tunnel that linked the city centre under the New Town to Canal Street.[1] The trains that used the station were rope hauled by stationary steam engine.
The site of the station is now part of a public park.
