Sabhal Mòr Ostaig
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sabhal Mòr Ostaig (literally: "the great barn at Ostaig") is a Scottish Gaelic medium college based in Sleat, on the Isle of Skye in north west Scotland. It is part of the UHI Millennium Institute, and also has a campus on Islay known as "Ionad Chaluim Chille Ìle".
It was founded by local entrepreneur Sir Iain Noble in the 1970s, and Sorley MacLean was amongst its early board members. The first full-time Director of the college was Isle of Raasay-born Gaelic scholar Farquhar MacLennan who assumed the role in 1976. From 2002 the college offered Bachelor degrees as a constituend college of UHI Millenium Institute.
The college is the venue for the annual Sabhal Mòr Lectures.
