Work to start on £8million Gaelic cultural centre on Skye
The Herald, 7th July 2025
Preliminary work is set to start in the next few weeks on a Gaelic language and culture centre which will ‘help protect and develop the language in one of its community heartlands’.
The new centre – Ionad Thròndairnis – will be built at Flodigarry in Staffin on the North-east peninsula of Skye.
It will include a large function hall, classrooms for language, music and heritage education, and a significant library and digital archive.
The Ionad Thròndairnis (Trotternish Centre) project includes a café-restaurant and a scalable development of quality accommodation to serve not only the users of the centre, but also address the chronic shortage of bed spaces in that part of Skye.
Siuated to the north of Portree, The Trotternish Peninsula is home to some of Skye’s most spectacular scenery.

Ged a bha àrdachadh gu nàiseanta sa chunntas-shluaigh mu dheireadh sna thuirt gun robh Gàidhlig aca, thathar a’ gabhail ris gu bheil crìonadh mòr air tighinn oirre mar chànan choimhearsnachd.

Ceremony kick-starts plans for Trotternish Centre
West Highland Free Press, 10 May 2019
Last Saturday a special ceremony was held in a bid to kick-start the plans for Ionad Thròndairnis (the Trotternish Centre) – unique multi-function arts and educational centre to welcome the many hundreds of thousands of visitors who travel to this part of the island annually.
Local MSP Kate Forbes cut the first turf on the site of the proposed centre in Flodigarry.
Over the last decade the community, through the work of Urras Baile Fhlòdaigearraidh – Flodigarry Township Trust – has been drawing up plans for Ionad Thròndairnis.
The centre is conceived as a multi-purpose venue for hosting concerts, ceilidhs and other cultural and social events. Importantly, it will be an educational resource for the development of the Gaelic courses that the community has been running in partnership with Scotland’s national Gaelic college, Sabhal Mòr Ostaig
In addition to providing space for the interpretation of the history, geology and wildlife of the Trotternish peninsula, the centre’s primary role will be as a social hub where members of the community can meet with each other and welcome all the visitors who come to experience the splendour of the peninsula.
