I have loved all the organised courses I did at Aigas (Aigas Wildlife Spring & Summer) but found I was kept SO busy visiting other parts of Scotland, that I never really explored the Field Centre itself. I therefore asked to tack 3 days 4 nights onto the end of their wonderful Outer Hebrides trip (summer 2010). I visited the Loch Hide very early one morning and was spoilt to see not only 4 of the EuropeanBeavers out and about, but also an Osprey at the Loch. I had a wonderful encounter with a big group of of lovely birds in the plantation. I saw a family of Wrens with young and Treecreepers with the help of a ranger. I was privilaged to see Roe Deer and have VERY close encounters with other Birds at the hill top hide. If a course is being run at the same time as your customised visit you are able to join the group for certain activities, e.g. Pine Marten and Badger nightime hide visit, etc. As always the food produced under Lady Lucy's guidance was simply scrumptious, and the family and rangers were VERY welcoming. This is an experience not to be missed. At the beginning of April 2011, I am again visiting but this time I am joined by a friend from Ohio.

This was my second holiday at Aigas and was just as good as the last. I did the Wild Revival programme last year which was full of enjoyable experiences. I have taken up some of the crafts we covered - last Christmas everyone got candles! Having seen how much other guests enjoyed the Wildlife programme I did that this year. The rangers took us all over the place looking for golden eagles, otters, dolphin........... The only animal I wanted to see and didn't was the white-tailed sea eagle; perhaps I will see them on my next visit. As usual the food and accommodation were wonderful. Lucy runs a very good kitchen and tries hard to cater for food allergies, likes and dislikes, etc.. The main thing I enjoy at Aigas is meeting the other guests who are, without exception, friendly and like-minded. I travel alone but never feel alone or left out. I can be alone when I want to and mix when I want to. Another great point for solo travellers is that there is no single supplement.

The thing that bowled me over about Aigas wasn’t the daily ospreys or the peregrine on its eyrie or the glorious peanut-eating pine martens – my first ever. More than anything it was the passion for sharing nature that came through among all the young staff. It permeated the place. It was infectious. And it had its origins in the commitment shown by every member of the Lister-Kaye family.
