Point (Outer Hebrides)
Point ((スコットランド・ゲール語:An Rubha)), also known as the Eye Peninsula, is a peninsula some 11 km〔Extreme points are Gob na Creige GR499292 and Ceann an t-Siumpain GR573378 ie 11.3 km apart, not 11 miles as in the community website〕 long in the Outer Hebrides (or Western Isles), Scotland, connected to the rest of the Isle of Lewis by a narrow isthmus, one mile in length and at one point barely 100 metres wide. The peninsula is just 6 km east of the regional capital of Stornoway, is home to around 2,600 people and is one of the few districts of the Western Isles where the population is increasing.
There are about 15 villages and hamlets in Point: (listed west to east) Aignish (Aiginis), Knock (An Cnoc), Swordale (Suardail), Garrabost, Lower Bayble (Pabail Iarach), Eagleton (Baile na h-Iolaire), Upper Bayble (Pabail Uarach), Shulishader (Sulaisiader, usually referred to as Shader), Sheshader (Seisiader), Flesherin (Fleisirin), Cnoc Amhlaigh, Portnaguran (Port nan Giuran), Aird, Broker (Brocair), and Portvoller (Port Mholair).〔A Guide To Point: An Rubha, The Eye Peninsula, Isle of Lewis.

==Education==
Point is served by Sgoil an Rubha (Point School), a primary school which opened in 2011 in Bayble, built on the site of Bayble primary and junior secondary school. There was a long debate about the new school, leading to a gap of over 10 years between the first plans and the building of the school. The school took a year to build, and was the first of a number of new schools built in the Western Isles. There were three primary schools in Point: Bayble, Knock and Aird. These fed into Bayble junior secondary school, which closed when the new school opened, reflecting the decline in the school-age population. There is now no junior secondary school in Point; Sgoil an Rubha feeds into the Nicolson Institute in Stornoway for secondary education.
