With Love Gàidhlig in North Uist, you can learn some of the language. There is also a brilliant summer school in South Uist each summer where you can learn to step dance, music and lots more at Ceolas.
An Taigh Cèilidh in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis is a Gaelic community and cultural centre with community café and shop which holds regular events connected to Gaelic language and culture.
