History
The Gaelic College was founded in 1938 by Presbyterian Minister, the Reverend A.W.R. MacKenzie, having opened in a one-room log building on land in St. Ann's which had been owned in the 1800s by the Reverend Norman McLeod, another Presbyterian minister who had lived on the site for 30 years and who migrated in the 1850s with 800 settlers from surrounding communities to Waipu, New Zealand.
The Gaelic College has evolved over time into a beautiful modern campus overlooking St. Ann's Harbour.
