It has been a favourite for travellers seeking a break during the renowned road trip across the north of Scotland. However, the owners have cited both "economic and personal" reasons for their decision to cease trading imminently. The current proprietors of the 60-seater restaurant expressed their disappointment at the outcome, describing it as "extremely disheartening." While the restaurant and gift shop will close, the accommodation and taxi hire services run by the business will remain operational as the owners search for the "right people" to take over the restaurant specialising in "Scottish fare." In a heartfelt announcement, they stated: 'It is with heavy hearts that we announce that we will be closing Meikle Ferry Station Restaurant and Gift Shop for day-to-day operations on Saturday, 21st June. 'This decision has been made due to a combination of both economic and personal reasons. 'We are extremely disappointed to be taking this step, especially after the efforts made by everyone involved in the business. 'We look back with pride on all that has been achieved. 'We will continue to operate our accommodation and private hire taxi service while we search for the right people to bring a new era to Meikle Ferry Station.
