West Highland College (Scottish Gaelic: Colaiste na GÃ idhealtachd an Iar) is a college of further and higher education in the West Highlands of Scotland. The college is part of the University of the Highlands and Islands and operates from a number of college centres across the area, at Auchtertyre, Broadford, Fort William, Kilchoan, Kinlochleven, Mallaig, Portree, Strontian and Ullapool.
West Highland College was formed in August 2010 from the merger of Lochaber College (founded in 1998) with Skye and Wester Ross College (dates to 2003).
In February 2012 Dr Michael Foxley became chair of the college.
In January 2013 it was announced that money from the European Regional Development Fund would go towards a new building for the Portree campus. The building would have capacity to support 300 learners, with an additional 60 full-time places available from September 2013.
An external review of the college in 2014 by Education Scotland included positive findings.
