Tailor Made Holidays

To use Aigas as a base for your own expeditions is to combine staying in a beautiful place with the friendly expertise of Scotland’s premier nature centre.

The package we offer to those who may not wish to join an organized group enables you to use our facilities and rangers, as well as stay in one of our lodges on a B&B basis. We can help you decide where to go, what to see, and where to find it. We can lead you there if you need professional help.

You can combine superb wildlife watching opportunities with fascinating historical sites, ancient archaeology with dazzling bird watching or just take a tour to enjoy the stunning Highland scenery. You can explore both east and west coasts in a day, come home to a log fire and an Aigas dinner, and then spend an hour or two in the badger and pine marten hide getting close up views of the wonderful wildlife.

The Round House - New from 2011

Our latest addition to the Aigas accommodation is The Round House - an African themed rotunda set in a quiet corner of the Aigas garden. With a wood burning stove and a sense of comfortable country chic, it is the perfect rustic get away for a couple or family (bunk beds for the kids.) It is available on a tailor made basis for £114.50 pppn (on a B&B basis.)

The Aigas Hide Pledge – tailor made guests at Aigas have the use of three hides on the estate included in the price of their stay. These hides offer the opportunity to watch pine marten, beaver, red and roe deer in the morning and evening and red squirrels during the day.

We will do our utmost to ensure that you are successful in the hides by informing you of hide availability, providing advice and guidance on animal behaviour and emergence times and by inviting you to accompany ranger led group hide visits where there is space. If you are unsuccessful in the use of the pine marten or beaver hide, we will provide you with a voucher for another hide visit.

If you require a ranger-led hide visit, where there would have not have been one happening anyway, there will be a charge of £10 per person.
