Very interesting as I am the last owner of Meikle ferry Tain, that was bought by my father in law Clifford Moscati. I do have relatives that visit and have brought me photos that I will print in a journal I am writing. I have a photo of the men that served here, a calendar of the whole area given me by someone that was interested in the history of the place that lived in Alness. He had a copy and I the other.
