Programmes By Date - Aigas Field Centre

I can honestly say that this was one of the best holidays I have ever had. The staff were so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The accommodation was great - right in the heart of the Aigas Estate, and close to nature. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone who is interested in seeing wildlife 'up close and personal'. I was so pleased to see Pine Martens, Badgers, Beaver, Dolphins, Golden Eagles, White Tailed Sea Eagles, Osprey, and so much more! The scenery was stunning, and we were so lucky with the weather - which was superb. The group who shared my holiday experience with me were a really friendly and enthusiastic bunch. Thank you to everyone who played a part.

It is a stunning location and hosts many training programmes for conservation, wildlife and landscape management. It's owned and run by people who really know their subject and is worth a visit just to see the stunning beauty of the location.

Just returned from the Wild Animals in a Highland Landscape week. I am delighted to say that the whole experience was so worthwhile. Aigas is like nowhere we have been before. You become totally absorbed in the rhythms and way of life at Aigas, and how Sir John and Lady Lucinda have turned what is essentially their home into a peaceful and welcoming retreat and educational centre, far from the hustle and bustle of daily life. My partner was a little apprehensive that the other guests would be dedicated twitchers - there was certainly a lot of knowledge around the table, but people wanted to share their passions which was infectious, and it was a very friendly environment. Must mention the engaging Dr David - never thought bog myrtle and owl pellets could be so fascinating - and the rangers who are dedicated and enthusiastic. We saw all the wildlife we had hoped for, including dolphins, ospreys, red squirrels (outside our cabin) badger, beavers and pine martin, and some very beautiful parts of the Highlands. The programme is full on, but never rushed. The food was wonderful, and Lady Lucinda went out of her way to help when my boots disintegrated! All in all, a much needed chance to 'stand and stare', breath deeply in the clear air, and re-connect with the natural world.
