“Although there is a global movement to connect all the world and all cultures electronically in an uninterrupted fusion of space
and time, there is also an inverse tendency of local cultures expressing their wish to belong to one place.”
Holl Steven, “No man’s Land – inapprehensible spaces” in Quaderns No 212, 1997, pp 54 – 62
Togail tìr is a residential study centre for artists, writers and creatives to work in the remote landscape of Skye.
The field centre offers the opportunity for groups and individuals to attend residential short and long courses in subjects relating to gaelic art, culture and heritage. Up to 80 people can be accommodated at the centre with a support staff of around 8 (including office, catering and management). Associated with the field centre are individual retreats that are located around the penisula at Boreraig. These self-contained units offer living studio spaces for artists, writers and other creatives who are free to pursue their own work whilst also providing teaching and support to the field centre. Studios, workshops and meeting rooms are provided at the field centre along with dining facilities and a common room for social interaction.
