After crossing north over the Forth Road Bridge, take the second exit and head east on the A921 towards Dalgety Bay. This road passes through Kinghorn.
You will need to park your car in Kinghorn village and walk the rest of the way. See below for details.
Kinghorn station is well served from Edinburgh with a roughly half-hourly service. Exit the station on the seaward side and keeping alongside the line, pass underneath the viaduct. There is a small children's playground on the right, pass alongside this and the coastal path passes under the railway at the far end. Keep along this path - it climbs alongside a caravan park, before zig-zagging up and down along the foreshore. Eventually you will come to a flight of wooden steps which give you a good view of the line (and the river!)
There are no facilities in the area.
The light here is best in a morning until about 11 for trains heading north-east away from Edinburgh, with the Firth in the background. The line enters a cutting by the location so shots the other way are not really possible.
