Cathair na Beinne Eallair ann an Ceiltis
The Ben Alder Chair in Celtic Studies at StFX was established in 2001 by the Swiss financier, Urs Schwarzenbach, who named it after his estate in Scotland called "Ben Alder" (Beinn Eallair in Gaelic). This Chair provides salary support to a faculty member in the Department of Celtic Studies, has enabled the department to offer an expanded number of courses, as well as an Honours Bachelor of Arts and a Masters of Arts program in Celtic Studies.
