Skye Marble Railway


The Skye Marble Railway was a narrow gauge industrial railway on the Isle of Skye, in Scotland.
Marble was discovered near Kilchrist in Strath Suardal about south west of Broadford around 1907. A large factory was built near the quarry for cutting and polishing the quarried blocks. The light railway extended from Broadford pier to the quarries, and there was a branch line to the factory.
The railway was operated by a Hunslet Engine Company steam locomotive named Skylark, which was acquired second-hand from Ireland.
