The Dingwall and Skye Railway was authorised on 5 July 1865 with the aim of providing a route to Skye and the Hebrides. However, due to local objections, another Act of Parliament was required before work could commence. This was passed on 29 May 1868.
With the exception of the Strathpeffer Branch, the line is still open, being the major section of the Kyle of Lochalsh Line.
