Bayble Island from Upper Bayble

Bayble Island lies at the southern end of Bayble Bay (Pabail Bay). It consists of two islands (Eilean Mòr Phabaill and Eilean Beag Phabaill[1]), but these appear as a single island from most directions. The hamlets of Upper and Lower Bayble overlook the island and bay.[2]

Bayble Island (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Phabail) is an uninhabited island off the south coast of the Eye Peninsula of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

Wildlife

[edit]

Rats are thought to have arrived on the island, as to the Shiant Islands, from a shipwreck (although this may be folklore).[citation needed] Gannets and other seabirds can be seen on the island and diving into the surrounding waters.
