Come and join us this summer for a week on Skye

This year Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, the National Centre for Gaelic Language and Culture on the Isle of Skye, are offering a wide range of short courses for several weeks throughout the summer months. The College’s short courses programme has grown in popularity over the years and each year, nearly a thousand people of all ages and backgrounds come to us for instruction in Gaelic Language & Culture, Gaelic song, music and a range of other specialist subjects offered by a talented team of instructors. These 5-day courses are a great way to meet new people, learn the Gaelic language and enjoy a good music session or two in a unique learning and cultural environment.

At the heart of a warm and friendly community, we are offering various Gaelic classes from beginners to advanced, levels 1-10. As well as our Gaelic courses we have a number of music courses including Under 18s Piping and Drumming with Iain McFadyen and Andrew MacPherson, Isle of Skye Piping School with Decker Forrest, various levels of Clàrsach taught by Ingrid Henderson and Deirdre Graham, Argyll Gaelic Song with Joy Dunlop and if you fancy something a little different we are also offering Digital Photography with Cailean Maclean and Gaelic Creative Writing with Alison Lang as well as several other courses throughout the summer. Each week we offer evening activities which are an essential part of the short course experience, and will include cèilidhs, concerts, music sessions, Gaelic conversation opportunities and various workshops.
