Rèinigeadal (or Rhenigidale) is a small settlement in Harris, in the Western Isles in Scotland. It is situated on the east coast of Harris, 8 km east of Tarbert, at the western side of the entrance to Loch Seaforth. Rèinigeadal is situated within the parish of Harris.[1] Rèinigeadal had no road access until 1990; the only route in was 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) along a hill path, or by boat. The road now links to the A859.[2]
Rèinigeadal has a youth hostel, run by the Gatliff Hebridean Hostels Trust. This opened in 1962, and was the first Gatliff hostel.[3]
The hamlet does not have any shops, restaurants or public houses.[4] The National Grid only started providing islanders with electricity in 1980.[5] and the hostel only started using electricity in June 1990.
Rèinigeadal boasted Britain's last single-digit telephone number (Rhenigidale 1) until converted in March 1990.[6]
