Eilean Mòr Phabail Bayble Island (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Phabail) is an uninhabited island off the south coast of the Eye Peninsula of Lewis. It lies at the southern end of Bayble Bay (Pabail Bay) and actually consists of two islands (Eilean Mòr Phabaill and Eilean Beag Phabail), but these appear as a single island from most directions. The hamlets of Upper and Lower Bayble overlook the island and bay.

Red roof on a blackhouse This old blackhouse in Lower Bayble (Pabail Iaraich) has had its traditional thatch replaced by corrugated iron and has obviously not been used as a dwelling for many years.  This view looks south-west from the road through the village, and on a clear day such as this was, the hazy outline of the hills of Wester Ross on the mainland can be made out on the horizon.

Track across the moor This track, probably a peat road, takes off to the south from the road leading to Lower Bayble (Pabail Iarach).  The gridsquare, almost entirely featureless moorland, looked a poor possibility for a photo until this puddle obligingly offered a reflection of the sky.
