Programmes By Date - Aigas Field Centre

I can not say enough about the amazing experience my family & I shared at Aigas this summer. I reached out to them in November asking if they could accommodate a family of 27 people and lead us around to certain attractions that we were interested in visiting throughout the Highlands. Within several months we had accommodations, a preliminary itinerary set and transportation lined up (through Aigas) to and from the airport. The rangers were so helpful & knowledgeable about all of the locations we visited, were able to adapt to our changing plans & made every excursion a delight! Lady Lucy's meals were fantastic and we couldn't wait to see what we were going to eat every day! Thank you, Aigas, for making our family trip (27 of us ranging in age from 3years-85 years old) so memorable & easy!!!!!

Staying in the grounds of Aigas House is a wildlife treat in itself. The accommodation in timber lodges and surrounded by beautiful scenery was only the start. The young team of rangers were well organised, cheerful and extremely knowlegable about the local wildlife and history of the region. They made each daily outing a fascinating event. Rather than being on the fringes of hospitality, Sir John and Lady Lucy were very much in evidence each day to ensure we were well fed and part of the 'house party' atmosphere of their beautiful home. I certainly hope to return and thought it was worth every penny of the not insignificant holiday cost.

Went to Uist with the Aigas Field Center. If you enjoy bird watching, walking, great food and comfortable accommodations, you need to check out this trip. Calum, Louis, and Martyn were fantastic guides. The group saw 93 species of birds, 7 mammals, and 10 invertebrates. I’m new to birding, so to be honest, I actually was only able to identify about half the birds (but not from the lack of the rangers and fellow travelers trying to help me.) To get the full benefit on the walks, I would highly recommend renting a good pair of binoculars from Aigas if you don’t have some. The trip isn’t just about nature. You will also visit historic sites and learn about living on Uist.
