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 organised 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, where to find it and we can lead you there if you need professional help. You can combine castles with gardens, glens and golden eagles, dolphins and divers, or just magnificent scenery. You can explore both east or 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, or beaver hide.
Please note that booking your accommodation in advance as well as arranging the optional extras found below is essential to ensure the availability of our rangers and facilities.
To request further information, to place a booking and to create a bespoke tailormade itinerary at Aigas, contact the office and we can help.
For something a little different, we have several other accommodation options available including the Round House, or the Eskadale and Affric rooms in the main House of Aigas.
The Round House
The Round House is 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 getaway for a couple or family (bunk beds for children).
