This was an exceptional week of fun, laughter, creativity and wildlife. Tutored by the outstanding Jay Griffiths (wild: an elemental journey; pip,pip etc) with additional teaching and talks from the owner and author John Lister-Kaye (song of the rolling earth, nature child). The wit, patience, knowledge and sheer genius of the tutors made this a fantastic learning experience without feeling a sense of pressure. The wildlife seen was exceptional with pine marten, bottlenose dolphins, red deer, red squirrel, golden eagles, otters, stone chat all seen along with the beavers on the loch which are part of an introduction experiment. They're busy creating habitat patches of fallen birch and adding to the structure of the ecosystem. The group was mixed with couples and singles, male female and a wide mix of ages. Al had one thing in common a desrire to write about the natural world, all succeeded in improving their skills. Brilliant!

I stayed at Aigas for 7 nights. nothing was too much trouble for Sir John and Lady Lucy Lister-Kaye. All the rangers are highly motivated, doing a job they love. Where else can you see beaver kits, otters,eagles and buzzards, dissect owl pellets, track badgers, wait for hours for pine martins, and identify moths. An Eco dolphin boat trip was also included. The food is second to none, and included breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and a 3 course evening meal. All the staff were friendly. The accomodation was very clean in log cabins, with private bathroom and kitchenette. highly recommended to any bird/wildlife enthusiast.

I spent a week at Aigas, taking a wonderful photography course. I was completely overwhelmed by the Lister-Kaye's incredible hospitality (Lady Lister-Kaye's cooking is legendary), the glorious location, and the knowledge and enthusiasm of the Aigas rangers. I was solo on this trip and somewhat nervous I'd be the only single. Indeed, I was not and I had the time of my life. If you are looking for a unique educational and learning adventure, look no further.
