While the initi al aim was to establish a Gaelic library, the long term plan was for a Gaelic-medium college providing vocati onal further educati on for Gaelic speakers, in their own language and rural environment, while also giving the growing number of Gaelic enthusiasts the opportunity to learn the language.
In its relati vely short history, Sabhal Mòr Ostaig has achieved and surpassed these core aims and conti nues to widen access to the Gaelic language and culture.
