Newtonferry (Scottish Gaelic: Port nan Long, "the harbour of the ships")[1] is a small crofting community on the island of North Uist in the Western Isles of Scotland, at the end of the B893 road.[2] Newtonferry is within the parish of North Uist.[3]
A number of archaeological sites have been discovered in the vicinity.[4][5]
A ferry used to run between Newtonferry and the neighboring island of Berneray, but no longer runs since a permanent causeway was constructed between Berneray and North Uist.[6]
