I concur with the praise from others for the standard week at Aigas. This is a special place. Every interaction with the staff at all levels was wonderful: * office staff -- Sheila and Marjorie * the rangers -- knowledgeable, cheerful, resourceful * the owners -- Sir John and Lady Lucy * even the kitchen staff (sorry I did not learn their names) We chose to extend our stay and do an extra day after the Highland House Party. They assigned ranger Jenny as our guide. She met with us a few times early in the week to understand what we were looking for. She came back with a proposal to go to the Cairngorms Mountain area. This was not on our itinerary for Highland House party, so we were pleased to see another part of Scotland. The 2 main attractions that she chose for us were: * Highland Folk Museum -- contains a 1700s village that was used for several scenes in Outlander -- really fascinating. This place also contains history and culture from other historic eras, but we did not take the time to see it all -- more for the next trip. * Cairngorms Mountain ski area -- this time of year covered with pink and purple heather in bloom. It is also a good spot for the Ring Ouzel -- a bird that we did not manage to see earlier in the trip. We found out that Jenny had spent the previous day scouting out the route -- checking timings, and toilet stops. That is emblematic for the level attention to detail to get when booking a trip at Aigas. Come and experience the joy.

I was lucky enough to be invited to a surprise 90th Birthday afternoon tea at this beautiful house yesterday. We were warmly welcomed by Lady Lucy and shown into a lovely sitting room complete with comfy sofas and a roaring log fire which was a real treat on such a wet afternoon.A round table was set for tea in a window with views over the colourful garden. A glass of Champagne was poured when the Birthday girl was shown in then followed by the most delicious and beautifully presented afternoon tea anywhere.Aigas Field Centre runs courses on many subjects including painting, sketching, birds, day trips to interesting places and more and our 90 year old friend has been a regular visitor there for years calling it her home from home. Thank you Lady Lucy for giving us the insight yesterday as to why she loves it so much and if you can find time to add afternoon teas for the general public to your repertoire I am sure they would be a great success.

It is a stunning location and hosts many training programmes for conservation, wildlife and landscape management. It's owned and run by people who really know their subject and is worth a visit just to see the stunning beauty of the location.
