About Us

Fàilte gu Uibhist a Tuath! Welcome to the Isle of North Uist!

 

Our on-demand language classes are the ideal opportunity for island visitors and locals to experience learning the native Gaelic language which is connected in these islands with everyday life from crofting to fishing, shopping and pub culture. The richness of the language spoken in local dialects encourages you to listen and try and converse and learn new words and phrases along the way. Whether you are passing through North Uist or live locally, get in touch to book your own Gaelic language learning experience.

​

Sometimes we have availability for bookings for face-to-to-face teaching in between our online commitments. All course bookings require full payment beforehand and are non-refundable unless plane or ferry are cancelled last minute due to weather or technical problems. 

​

We can pick you up and drop you off at your accommodation/ferry/airport when you book these (extra fee). We have a full-time work schedule, hence availability may be limited.

Venue to be confirmed for each individual booking nearer time (Locheport, Carinish or Hosta).
