Bayble (Scottish Gaelic: Pabail) is a village in Point (An Rubha), on the Isle of Lewis, 6 miles (10 kilometres) east of Stornoway.[1] Bayble is also within the parish of Stornoway.[1]
There are around 400 people living in Bayble.[citation needed] It is separated into Upper and Lower Bayble by a burn at the bottom of the valley. Upper Bayble (Scottish Gaelic: Pabail Uarach) had a community shop, Murdo's, which has now closed after 44 years of service.[citation needed] Upper Bayble has produced three internationally recognised writers of poetry and prose, Iain Crichton Smith, Derick Thomson and Anne Frater.[citation needed] The former writing predominantly in English and the latter two writing almost exclusively in Gaelic. Lower Bayble (Scottish Gaelic: Pabail Iarach) is a seaside crofting township. The village overlooks Bayble Bay (Bàgh Phabail), with Bayble Island (Eilean Phabail) at the south end and Eilean a' Chàise to the north.
