Arts & Culture
The unique culture of the Highlands is being celebrated in 2007 with a yearlong programme of events.
This project is partly funded by the Scottish Government, which has contributed £9 million towards heightening the profile of Highland culture.
The project is built around six key areas – Arts, Heritage, Language, Sport, Environment and Science, focusing on seven major themes – Youth, Gaelic, Creativity, Highland Homecoming, Access and Inclusiveness, Re-interpretation of Traditional Icons and the Highlands as an Inspirational Place.
The Gaelic language's cultural importance in the Highlands is apparent across most of the region. One of the best places in the whole of Scotland to learn Gaelic is at the renowned Sabhal Mòr Ostaig College on the Isle of Skye, popular with visitors to Scotland and residents alike.
