Programmes By Date - Aigas Field Centre

I spent a week at Aigas primarily to bird watch and enjoy the nature. The gardens, walks and the whole plantation is lush with vegetation, lakes and many paths for walking. The cabins were very comfortable and clean and the main mansion is in itself beautifully kept and open to guests all the time. Every evening before dinner there are free drinks and the food is home cooked everyday by Lady Lucy and her staff. The rangers are a group of lovely young people who are very knowledgeable about everything and are very helpful nothing is too much for them.They always have a smile on their faces. I have only good things to say about Aigas and spent a wonderfully magical week there.

I stayed at the Aigas Field Centre for a week with a foray from the Audubon Naturalist Society. I'd read books by Sir John Lister-Kaye and had been in Scotland before, so I had high hopes, but this place topped them all. The young Rangers who took us out each day knew all the birds, the mammals, and the geology. Beauty was everywhere, on the grounds of the House of Aigas and in the lovely Highlands country. I loved the focus on the landscape and the environment; I loved the historical aspects. I loved seeing the Scottish wildcats, red grouse, and a golden eagle feeding a weasel to its chicks. And I loved Sir John reading us "bedtime stories." Walking around the loch at Aigas with Warwick was a treat. Seeing the site of The Lord of the Isles on the Isle of Islay was a treat.The food, under the direction of Lady Lucy, was wonderful, and the solicitude for guest comfort was genuine and on-going. I'm now hoping I can return some day!

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.
