Programmes By Date - Aigas Field Centre

It would be hard to say what's best about a week at Aigas__there are so many delights__the excellent meals, the beautiful natural setting, the history in the Victorian hunting lodge and its furnishings, the charming and exceptionally knowledgeable staff, the gardens, the field trips. When they say nothing is too much trouble for our guests, they mean it. All of this is in service to their mission: "Sharing the wonders of the wild Highlands." I long to go back.

When you buy into a product such as a learning course or programme you imagine it is going to be what you want, but not necessarily everything you want. My week at Aigas so dramatically exceeded my expectations that I am still dazzled by it. I have, quite simply never experienced anything like it. First of all it is a family home and you are welcomed like long lost cousins. Secondly everyone who works there seems to love it - remarkable enough - but they are also real experts. Thirdly the place is very beautiful in a lovely Highland glen. Fourthly it has a dazzling array of wildlife on site - beavers, otters, pine martens, ospreys, red kites, red squirrels, golden eagles......on and on the list goes. And finally, as if to cap it all, we learned so much and we had such fun. What more can I say?

Aigas is the perfect natural playground for a family. Where else do you have otters, beavers, pine martens and a wealth of birdlife all in one place? I felt complete freedom in letting my children roam and explore the natural wilderness there and make their own remarkable discoveries.
