Sabhal Mòr Ostaig (SMO) hosted an evening of celebration in Sleat on Friday October 5 as the National Centre for Gaelic Language and Culture enjoyed one of its most successful graduation ceremonies in its 45-year history.
In total, 64 students graduated from the undergraduate and postgraduate programme which the college off ers, with particular success in the increased number of students graduating with honours degrees and indeed the highest number of first-class honours awards achieved since SMO was established in 1973.
