Long Story Short

Platform 1864 is Tain’s former railway station which was built in 1864.

In 2015 it was converted into a bistro by chef/owner, Graham Rooney. The quirky rail themed interior is the perfect place to relax, buy yourself to a glass of wine or a cup coffee and enjoy a literary treat. Graham and his team have supported the St Duthac Book and Arts Festival from the very beginning, in fact Graham gave a fascinating talk called 'Long Story Short' about his journey restoring this historic building in 2021.

We love the window art designed and applied by local volunteer Clair Wallace. A beautiful addition to Tain High Street.
