Sabhal Mòr Ostaig

Sabhal Mòr 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".

The college was founded in the 1970s at Ostaig Farm Square, by local entrepreneur Sir Iain Noble. Renowed Gaelic poet 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 constituent college of UHI Millennium Institute.

The college is the venue for the annual Sabhal Mòr Lectures, and students of Gaelic travel from all over the world to attend.

The literal translation of the name "Sabhal Mòr Ostaig" is "the great barn at Ostaig".
