Sabhal Mòr Ostaig is an academic partner of the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) and the only college in the world where all higher education provision and administration are conducted in Scottish Gaelic.
It is spread over two buildings, Àrainn Ostaig and Àrainn Chaluim Chille, which are interlinked by a well-lit pathway and are only a short walk apart. The Centre for Creative and Cultural Industries, Fàs, is located next to Àrainn Chaluim Chille.
Part of the new Kilbeg initiative, Ionad Iain Nobail, is the Centre for Academic Research, Knowledge Transfer and Enterprise. The end result of the initiative is the creation of the first new ‘planned village’ on Skye.
