Guessing NF is Northlink Ferries and S is either Scrabster or Stromness.

Both Dounreay and Dallochy presumably had international terminals but are now abandoned. No-one departs and no-one arrives.

Probably a dud: Inverness Tomnahurich where two fiddlers "woke up" to discover that they had been away, underground with the fairies for a hundred years and the bridge once wooden was now stone etc etc.
