Founded in 1938 by Rev. A.W.R. MacKenzie, the Gaelic College is the only university in North America to teach the Gaelic language and Highland arts and crafts. Attracting students from all over North America, the college offers courses such as bagpipe music, Highland dancing and hand weaving of family and clan tartans. During July and August, the college hosts a ceilidh (Kay-lee) featuring local performers.
