Gullane Entertainment Limited was a British independent production company which produced children's programming, including Thomas & Friends (1984–2021), Shining Time Station (1989–1995), and The Magic Adventures of Mumfie (1994–1998).

In the late 1980s, the company formed Quality Family Entertainment an American subsidiary to produce an adapted version of the series, Shining Time Station.

On the same day, Gullane confirmed that Thomas and the Magic Railroad had been sold in over thirty countries worldwide, while Catalyst Entertainment delivered the first series of Eckhart and Longhouse Tales to the company.
