Scope and Content View of Garve Station, Ross and Cromarty Garve is a small hamlet which developed alongside the line of the early 19th-century Parliamentary road, which was built as the main route from east to west Ross-shire. There has not been much expansion of the settlement since Victorian times. The railway station was built in 1869 by Murdoch Paterson, engineer for the Highland Railway Company, on the line to Kyle of Lochalsh. The cast iron lattice-sided footbridge crossing the tracks was cast at the Rose Street Foundry in Inverness in 1906. The clearance on either side of the tracks at Garve are wider than normal. This is because it was originally planned to take small fishing boats by rail from Strome Ferry in the west to the Cromarty Firth in the east. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
