A GAELIC music, culture and heritage centre planned in South Uist has been awarded £1 million funding.
The £7 million Cnoc Soilleir project will receive the investment from the Scottish Government’s Gaelic Capital Plan and is expected to create around 40 jobs.
Cnoc Soilleir will support the growth of Ceòlas Uibhist community- led activity around Gaelic language learning, music and dance, as well as the Lews Castle College UHI music programmes. Additional creative industry courses will be provided to enable further growth in student numbers.
