Meikle Ferry railway station served the town of Dornoch, Sutherland, from 1864 to 1869 on the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway. Passengers would alight here and take the Ferry across the Dornoch Firth, and then travel onwards up the coast. The station, situated North of Tain and South of Edderton station, opened in 1864 and was only open for five years, closing to passengers and goods traffic in 1869.
Latterly the building served as the ‘Meikle Ferry Inn’, until the opening of the Dornoch Bridge in 1991, following which the name was changed to the ‘Dornoch Bridge Inn’.
By changing the name back to ‘Meikle Ferry Station’ we are helping to retain the Heritage of the premises, and identify with the Meikle Ferry area of the Dornoch Firth.
