SCOTLAND could see a Gaelic university for the first time.
, housing and rural affairs, announced plans to make Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Scotland’s National Centre for Gaelic Language and Culture, a university.
Speaking at the Scottish Greens party conference on Sunday, Burgess introduced a motion to support full degree-conferring powers to Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in addition to an independent funding settlement.Calls for the centre to be granted university status were first made by Professor Jim Hunter, director of the Centre for History at the University of the Highlands and Islands at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig’s annual conference last year.
Speaking to The National, Burgess said granting the centre university status would place it on the international stage and attract more people to the language.“It’s more poetic than English, which is an international language all about market and exchange. “When we’re faced with a global nature and climate emergency, Gaelic has its place in reconnecting people with nature.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
