Staying a week at Aigas - with its grounds, rangers, and Sir John and Lady Lucy - is among the most exceptional of my many travel experiences. Think wildlife refuge and rewilding programs rolled into a refurbished Victorian estate led by Sir John Lister-Kaye, well known in the naturalist and conservation circles for his pioneering work. I stayed as part of an educational tour group, and enjoyed each day fully. Through field trips, hikes, and events, I learned a great deal about Scotland's rich history and current efforts to restore biodiversity to the country. The rangers who led our trips were knowledgeable, energetic, and enthusiastic. The modest accommodations adjacent to the estate house were clean and comfortable, with big windows for spotting red squirrels and bird life. The food was creative and fabulous, served in a spectacular dining hall. The garden and grounds were breathtaking. Sir John and Lady Lucy and Hermione were gracious hosts, eager that their guests enjoyed their stay. Make sure to look closely at the center's website, because Aigas is not open to the public. Only to guests who have signed up for its various programs. I'm eyeing the list now for another adventure. Highly recommended.

It is the second time that I have been to Aigas and it was even better. The facilities, staff, food and the estate are wonderful. The quality of the food is superb and nothing is too much trouble to cater for specialist dietary requirements. I go for the wildlife and it never fails to captivate. The evening hide for the pine martens is brilliant and has now attracted a badger as a regular visitor. The rangers are well prepared and know where to take you to ensure you maximise on wildlife viewing. Even the highest quality of equipment, in the Swarovski scopes, ensure that you see what is around no matter what the distance. Well done, Aigas. You go from strength to strength in helping to build peopl's appreciation for wildlife and it's great to know that our visits help to contribute to it's conservation.
