Programmes By Date - Aigas Field Centre

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!

Aigas is just the most special place. All the staff are very friendly from the owners Sir John and Lady Lucy, the ranger team, and the lovely polish girls in the kitchen. The grounds are beautiful and we had a full, interesting and well tailored itinerary every single day. Each evening we'd return to dinner in the main hall, cooked by Lady Lucy - it is such a treat! Accommodation is in log cabins. These are relatively basic and rustic, but so warm and cosy - I have never slept so well! We will be back again very soon! We saw everything we wanted to see including amazing views of pine martens, beavers, deer, grouse, otters and golden eagles.

In the past I have visited with school children.The Rangers are friendly and well-informed.It's the ideal outdoor centre for children and adults.There are open days about twice yearly where you can wander the gardens and grounds and have a wonderful tea with sandwiches and cakes.You can also eat in the long hall in the house which is full of interesting artefacts.Great value for money and they donate the proceedings to charity.The owners are friendly and welcoming to all.
