The hamlet of Rhenigidale All but one of the houses of Rhenigidale are visible here.  The school bus calls daily in term time and on demand in the school holidays.  There is a postbox, a self catering cottage and the Gatliff Trust Youth Hostel. The Hostel Warden lives here as does the last postman who did the daily walk along the "Postman's Path" from Urgha on the Tarbert to Scalpay Road.

The mountain Toddun dominates the village.  The trees and road  are recent additions to the village.
