Programmes By Date - Aigas Field Centre

by Callum Rodger (age 11) This was my first holiday away without my family, and I came here last week for 6 days with my school. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, and Lady Lucy was really nice to us all (and she makes GREAT chocolate cupcakes). We did many activities here, walking, boat trips, castles, visiting the hides and I saw a beaver, dolphins, and golden eagles at the falconry at Dunrobbin Castle. I was in Fraser Lodge and it was really nice and comfortable. I LOVED my visit here and I'd like to come back with my parents some day. Thank you to Lady Lucy and the Rangers (Elspeth, Duncan, Dave, Brenna, Alicia, Scott and Sarah) for looking after me so well. Callum I'd also like to add my thanks to Lady Lucy as Callum has come home eating soup "with bits", flapjacks and drinking milky coffee - something I've never managed in 11 years. In all seriousness though, I'd recommend this trip for any schoolchild who has the opportunity to come here. Callum had a wonderful experience that he'll never forget, and his first comment as he came off the bus was "I want to go back, I have a brochure" !!!!

Our second visit and it was as good as the first. We went on the Highland House Party group and had a great time. Good variety of things to do and the added bonus of something each evening too. Lord John and Lady Lucy are fantastic hosts and all the staff and rangers are extremely professional and helpful. The highlights of the week were the day spent in the Western Isle, especially Hillbillies bookshop and Inverewe Gardens and the day spent on the Black Isle – with the visit to Foulis Castle being the highlight of the day. Don’t forget to take some time out too to walk around the loch and the grounds of Aigas itself. As for the accommodation – we have stayed in the usual cabins but we also paid extra to stay in the Round House this visit and it was fabulous.

Astonishing week with the Aigas team. Meeting like-minded people (some that had been before) the Rangers, the food, the Nature connection - all amazing. The accommodation was warm and cosy. The food was excellent. The staff could not have done more for all guests. The daily itinerary was clear and well thought out. Scotland’s wildlife then set the narrative of the week. The newly trained rangers were accompanied by experienced ones. Their shared knowledge and endless enthusiasm made the week so special. If you’re into nature and want to discover Scotland’s wildlife, geology and history then this is the holiday for you. Sit back, don’t worry about cooking or cleaning, enjoy the company and let Scotland tell her story. Thank you Aigas. I cannot wait to visit again.
