Ostaig

Mìneachadh: ost + vik = an ear + bàgh – east bay

B’ e tac a bh’ ann an Ostaig. Chaidh an seann sabhal a thogail anns na 1820an. Chaidh an sabhal fhosgladh às ùr le Iain Noble ann an 1973 mar a’ cholaiste Ghàidhlig, Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, às dèidh dha oighreachd a cheannach aig toiseach nan 1970an. Tha an làrach ann an Ostaig agus Àrainn Chaluim Chille anns a’ Chill Bhig air leasachaidhean mòra fhaicinn anns an leth-cheud bliadhna bhon uair sin.

Ostaig was a tack or farm. The steading was built in the 1820s and was reopened in 1973 by Iain Noble as the Gaelic college, Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, after he purchased the estate in the 1970s. The site at Ostaig and the Àrainn Chaluim Chille campus in Kilbeg have seen major developments in the fifty years since.
