Programmes By Date - Aigas Field Centre

My sister and I joined the Highland House Party on the last week of the 2011 programme. Although the weather was wet and windy, the warmth of the hospitality was superb. The 7 young rangers were outstanding - kind, caring, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the history, flora and fauna of the area. Our days were full and varied, and the food - all locally sourced - was excellent. When we left we felt that we had become part of the Lister-Kaye family! We can't wait to return. The ceilidh on the final evening just rubber-stamped' a truly memorable week. I am now re-reading Sir John's books, and have already used some of Lady Lucy's recipes!

A fantastic week. The welcoming speech informs you that you are there as guests of the family and that certainly comes through. All the staff were excellent. The Rangers were very knowledgable, personable and multi-talented (proven at the Ceilidh evening). Our photography course with Laurie Campbell was very instructional and enjoyable. Shame the dolphins did not follow the script but photographing pine martens was a memorable experience and was the same with leaping salmon and trout. Good accommodation, lovely people, the scenic Highlands and to top it all off delicious evening meals in a very grand setting. Thanks to you all.

We spent a week at Aigas as part of a Road Scholar program and had a wonderful experience! The programs were carefully presented by Sir John Lister-Kaye and his carefully selected Rangers. The accommodations were rustic but comfortable and the food, overseen by Lady Lucy Lister-Kaye, was delicious and locally sourced. It was an incredible learning opportunity that we highly recommend. If you want to learn about the history, geology, biology and culture of the Scottish Highlands, you will not find a better way to do so.
