Programmes By Date - Aigas Field Centre

It would be hard to say what's best about a week at Aigas__there are so many delights__the excellent meals, the beautiful natural setting, the history in the Victorian hunting lodge and its furnishings, the charming and exceptionally knowledgeable staff, the gardens, the field trips. When they say nothing is too much trouble for our guests, they mean it. All of this is in service to their mission: "Sharing the wonders of the wild Highlands." I long to go back.

The holiday was fantastic. Kept busy all day and into early evening. No sleep with so much wildlife to see. A photographers dream trip. All the team are brilliant. Thank you Ed for your patience. Lady Lucinda for her wonderful food and allowing us access to her home. The dedication of all the Aigas staff to make sure that the clients could experience the wonders of this amazing place. Thank you. I will be back next year and bringing three friends with me - look out Aigas.

This was an exceptional week of fun, laughter, creativity and wildlife. Tutored by the outstanding Jay Griffiths (wild: an elemental journey; pip,pip etc) with additional teaching and talks from the owner and author John Lister-Kaye (song of the rolling earth, nature child). The wit, patience, knowledge and sheer genius of the tutors made this a fantastic learning experience without feeling a sense of pressure. The wildlife seen was exceptional with pine marten, bottlenose dolphins, red deer, red squirrel, golden eagles, otters, stone chat all seen along with the beavers on the loch which are part of an introduction experiment. They're busy creating habitat patches of fallen birch and adding to the structure of the ecosystem. The group was mixed with couples and singles, male female and a wide mix of ages. Al had one thing in common a desrire to write about the natural world, all succeeded in improving their skills. Brilliant!
