Programmes By Date - Aigas Field Centre

Aigas is such a special place: I first heard of it through reading Song of the Rolling Earth - a gift from a friend - and was determined to go there one day and I spent a week there in early June. I loved the whole ambience, the food, the warmth, the accommodation etc, and was impressed with the enthusiasm and knowledge of the rangers. It was a pleasure to meet Sir John and Lady Lucy Lister Kaye who have made Aigas into a home from home for their guests. I am no expert in the field of wildlife/conservation but I am very interested and I learned a lot from the rangers and from my companions (i.e. the other guests!). I was not quite as dedicated as some of the other guests in getting up early/staying up half the night but I saw otters, pine marten, golden eagles, hares, cuckoos and a red squirrel, to mention but a few, plus I'm beginning to identify many more birds, some of which I'd never even heard of before! I loved it and hope to return before too long.

We had the most wonderful time at Aigas earlier this year. We couldn't have been made more welcome by the family and all the fantastic staff. Lady Lucy did us proud with a different vegetarian dish every evening and every one of them was fabulous. We went out every day and saw incredible wildlife, coast to coast. The loch and the hides were worth visiting several times a day and we saw beavers in the loch and pine martens and Jays and woodpeckers from the hides. We cannot praise Aigas highly enough and really hope to go again in the not too distant future.

Our stay at Aigas was one of the best wildlife experiences anywhere in the UK. A warm welcome awaits... During your visit you will be surrounded by the best of Scottish wildlife: otters, beavers, pine martins... Perfect for adults young and old, but very accessible for younger children with wonderful woods to play in and make dens- this is a wild playground for all ages. We will definitely be returning in the very near future.
