We spent seven days in June on the Aigas Wildlife Holiday. A very full week which gave a taste of all that the Highlands have to offer including East and West Coast, mountains, lochs, rivers forests and glens. We were able to see dolphins, otters, beavers, pine martens, red deer, eagles, ospreys and many other birds and mammals. Our accommodation was very comfortable and we received a warm welcome from all the Aigas staff. Meals were superb and plentiful. All the rangers were very knowledgeable in their field and made the trip not only enjoyable but very informative. The Aigas Estate itself was a truly magical place to visit. The downside was that the week was over far too quickly.

We could not have asked for more from the moment we arrived unto we left, Aigas certainly lived up to its motto of nothing being too much trouble. Accommodation, food and the Rangers were excellent. The Nature photography course with Laurie Campbell was brilliant - better than we expected. Highly recommended.
