Tong (Tunga in Scottish Gaelic) is a village on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, approximately 4 miles north-east of the main town of Stornoway on the road to Back and Tolsta. The population of the village is 527 as of the 2001 census.
The village has a community centre and football pitch, a primary school and a Free Church of Scotland Mission House. It also had a shop and post office but this closed a few years ago and is now a Scottish Episcopal Church meeting house.
Every July the Lewis Highland Games are held at the community centre with heavy events such as tossing the caber, Highland dancing, bagpipe competitions and other attractions taking place on the football pitch.
