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.
A number of archaeological sites have been discovered in the vicinity.2 3
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.4
