Bayble is a large village in Point (Am Rubha), a region of the Isle of Lewis, and is near the town of Stornoway. It is split into Upper Bayble (Phabail Uarach) and Lower Bayble (Phabail Iarach), separated by a burn at the bottom of the valley. There are around 400 people living in Bayble.

In Upper Bayble, there is a community shop, Murdo's. There is also Bayble Bay (Bagh Phabail), and in the bay, there is Bayble Island, which is actually two islands, but, from Upper Bayble anyway, it only looks like a single island. There is also a large concrete pier at Bayble Beach, and, on a good day, you can go swimming in the sea.
