B8027

Heading north from the A866

The B8027 is a short link road through Stornoway, passing to the east of the town centre. The road was originally unclassified but had gained its number by 1932.

The road starts at a roundabout on the A857 outside the Co-op supermarket and after a slight curve to the right it heads in a SSE direction along the dead-straight Matheson Road to end at another roundabout on the A866. Although a number of side streets lead off to either side, mostly meeting as crossroads, it is only the junction with Church Street a little over half way down which is signalised. The route is entirely residential except for short stretches at either end, and predominantly lined with large detached and semi detached houses behind mature hedges and tress.
