Loch Uigeadail is a lake on the Scottish Hebridean island of Islay . It is located in the southeast of the island about one kilometer northeast of Beinn Sholum and four kilometers north of Ardbeg . The lake is about 500 m long, a maximum of about 300 m wide and extends in an east-west direction.

Several streams leave the lake in a southerly direction. The Ardbeg whiskey distillery draws part of the water it needs from these . Because of this, she issued a special bottling called Uigeadail . Trout can also be fished in the lake.
