Rodel (Scottish Gaelic: Roghadal) is a village on the south-eastern coast of Harris, an island in the Scottish Outer Hebrides. Rodel is situated in the parish of Harris.[1] It was historically the capital of Harris,[1] and the main port, before Tarbert took the title.
St Clement's Church (Eaglais Chliamhain) is a 16th-century church which was founded by the 8th Chief of MacLeod[2] and is dedicated to Pope Clement I. The church was built using local Lewisian gneiss rock.[3] It overlooks Loch Rodel. This well-preserved church is currently under the responsibility of Historic Scotland.
Located near the harbour is Rodel Hotel. This was built in 1781 and was originally home to Captain Alexander MacLeod[4] of Berneray who had bought the Isle of Harris in 1779.[5] It was restored in 2001, and then sold to Anderson Bakewell and his wife Francine Stone in 2016.[6][7]
