TheHebridean Light Railway Company proposed to operate on the Scottish islands ofSkye andLewis.[1] The Skye line was to have connected the port ofIsleornsay (for ferries fromMallaig on the Scottish mainland) and the port ofUig on the north-west coast of the island, from where ferries would have sailed toStornoway on Lewis. Another line was then proposed to link Stornoway toCarloway, the second settlement of Lewis. Branch lines were also proposed toBreasclete[2] andDunvegan.[3]
The line was proposed in 1898, but was never completed. Records of the proposals are held in theNational Archives atKew.[4]
