Tain was granted its first royal charter in 1066, making it Scotland’s oldest royal burgh.  The 1066 charter, granted by King Malcolm III, confirmed Tain as a sanctuary where people could claim the protection of the church and immunity, in which resident merchants and traders were exempt from certain taxes.

Edderton once had its own station closed in 1960.  FNLCRP is supporting the campaign to have a station here re-opened
