Programmes By Date - Aigas Field Centre

We spent a week here with a program hosted by the Lister-Kaye family and their team. The food is fresh, organic, delicious, and nicely presented. Each comfy cottage has a private bathroom. Our hosts were competent and welcoming. We enjoyed daily excursions to surrounding areas to learn about Scotland's history, heritage, clans, and natural environment. They told us Scottish lore (witch trees!?), explained the history of battles, castles, subsistence farming, and remnant Caledonian forest. We had time to wander among ruins of churches, castles, and graveyards, and to imagine what life was like so many years ago. We wandered through gardens and forests, along rivers, and past waterfalls. Bring your bug spray (for midges), curiosity about history, and wonder about the natural world. You will not be disappointed.

Spent a super week at Aigas honing photography skills under the expert eye of Nature Photographer extraordinaire Laurie Campbell. His knowledge is second to none, the wildlife was amazing - even having to get up at 3.30m to see Black Grouse Leck! They have a baited Pine Martin and Badger hide on site enabling you to get really really close without disturbing them. Comfortable accommodation, tasty dinners, super hosts, great team - Rangers so helpful, obliging and experts in their own rights. Thoroughly recommend if you care about wildlife and the countryside as they have a wide range of holidays on offer.

I stayed at Aigas for 7 nights. nothing was too much trouble for Sir John and Lady Lucy Lister-Kaye. All the rangers are highly motivated, doing a job they love. Where else can you see beaver kits, otters,eagles and buzzards, dissect owl pellets, track badgers, wait for hours for pine martins, and identify moths. An Eco dolphin boat trip was also included. The food is second to none, and included breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and a 3 course evening meal. All the staff were friendly. The accomodation was very clean in log cabins, with private bathroom and kitchenette. highly recommended to any bird/wildlife enthusiast.
