Gaelic boost expected from Skye’s first new village for a century

Sabhal Mòr Ostaig is one of the Kilbeg project’s partners.

Chairman Angus MacInnes said: “This new development is the perfect place to share the Gaelic language and culture across generations and it aligns closely with Sabhal Mòr Ostaig’s mission to promote the language through immersion, world-class education, research and cultural opportunities.”

Communities Housing Trust chief executive Ronnie MacRae described Kilbeg as a ground-breaking community-led project.

He said: “The development in Kilbeg is unique in Scotland, in that it will provide a model for a mix of ages and tenures, providing opportunities for older people and younger families to support each other which also takes into account the importance of culture and heritage.

“Repopulating and regenerating the area in this way makes sense and helps to ensure long-term future sustainability of the community.”

The development has received public money including from the Scottish government’s Rural and Islands Housing Fund, European Regional Development Fund and Highlands and Islands Enterprise.
