Programmes By Date - Aigas Field Centre

This is an amazing retreat in the Scottish Highlands. Guests stay in cottages on the property of a beautiful Scottish Manor house. Hosts Sir John and Lady Lucy treat you as family. Meals are amazing. Talented and knowledgeable young guides take you by van to the wilds of the Highlands to explore castles, wildlife areas and other hidden treasures of the countryside. The guides are beyond compare--so upbeat and thoughtful about environmental issues. I felt like I had a whole education on my vacation. The Aigus Field Center is an experience, not a hotel, and you will leave refreshed, rejuvenated and changed. It would be great for a group of nature or history lovers or even family reunions. We attended with a historical society group of 23. A fabulous stay. I'd give it a ten if you had ten little circles to fill in above.

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 for a week 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.
