Our shared vision is a home for learning placed in the heart of the community, bringing people together and integrating student and local facilities.
Cnoc Soilleir is where everyone can engage with and learn from the wider Gaelic culture, including language and associated arts, and heritage, with music at the heart of many of our activities.
Cnoc Soilleir, meaning Bright Hill, is both the name of the building and the name of the place, nestled on a bend in Daliburgh, South Uist.
