Ambitious £40 million plans to build a new village beside Skye's Gaelic college have taken a major step forward with confirmation of a £3m grant from the Scottish Government.
Additional funding of £1m is also being made available for local authorities through the Gaelic Schools Capital Fund to support new or expanded Gaelic-medium education.
The Sabhal Mòr Ostaig (SMO) Gaelic College has been awarded the money to help secure its long-term future and develop the new village of Kilbeg.
