Our knowledgeable and enthusiastic Aigas rangers will take you off the beaten track in search of up to 120 species of birds, including golden and white-tailed eagles, peregrine falcons, black and red-throated divers, crossbills, crested tits and ospreys among many other specialised species.
Aigas Field Centre is an inspiring place, which gives one hope for a future where we treat our planet with more reverence and care.

simply one of the best experiences I have ever had at Aigas Field Centre. The Programme itself was wonderful and covered almost every habitat possible. Adding a visit to Strathbeg was a stroke of genius!

This was my second visit and I certainly hope to come again. Accommodation and catering are excellent and the centre is in a splendid setting within its own grounds, which encompass woodland, moorland and a small loch, the home of beavers. The daily field trips were well planned to cover a variety of Highland habitats and to encounter many species - golden eagles, red deer, otters, dolphins and pine martens perhaps the most memorable among the great many seen. The rangers who lead the trips are first-rate in their knowledge and enthusiasm and their consideration for the groups in their care. Both my stays were for one week: the first (in 2010), "Walking and Wildlife", requiring more physical stamina than the second, "Aigas Wildlife", whicxh involved walking but of a gentler nature. For both, good waterproofs and footwear were essential, binoculars too, although these can be hired. Apart from wildlife weeks, there are others focussed on different topics. For example, there was a "Creative writing" group during my second visit, and the interaction between the groups over meals is stimulating.
