In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Ardgay like this:
Ardgay, a village of Kincardine parish, N Ross-shire, near the southern shore and the head of Dornoch Firth, and 1½ mile SW of Bonar Bridge. It has a post office, with money order, savings' bank, insurance, and telegraph departments, a good hotel, and the Bonar Bridge station on the Highland railway, 13¾ miles WNW of Tain. A deed, granted in 1686 to erect it into a burgh of barony, was never carried into effect.
