This was my second visit and I certainly hope to come again. Accommodation and catering are excellent and the centre is in a splendid setting within its own grounds, which encompass woodland, moorland and a small loch, the home of beavers. The daily field trips were well planned to cover a variety of Highland habitats and to encounter many species - golden eagles, red deer, otters, dolphins and pine martens perhaps the most memorable among the great many seen. The rangers who lead the trips are first-rate in their knowledge and enthusiasm and their consideration for the groups in their care. Both my stays were for one week: the first (in 2010), "Walking and Wildlife", requiring more physical stamina than the second, "Aigas Wildlife", whicxh involved walking but of a gentler nature. For both, good waterproofs and footwear were essential, binoculars too, although these can be hired. Apart from wildlife weeks, there are others focussed on different topics. For example, there was a "Creative writing" group during my second visit, and the interaction between the groups over meals is stimulating.

This trip to Aigas excelled our highest expectations. Sir John and Lady Lucy Lister-Kaye know how to incorporate their lifetime commitment of conservation of both endangered species and careful planning of forestry and gardens. Combine their knowledge and experience with their team of Aigas Rangers and staff and you will be educated and fed well throughout the entire time. There was never a spare moment to become bored. Traipsing through the Scottish Highlands with history as its companion with great enthusiasm from the Rangers as fountains of knowledge is an extraordinary life experience.

The holiday was fantastic. Kept busy all day and into early evening. No sleep with so much wildlife to see. A photographers dream trip. All the team are brilliant. Thank you Ed for your patience. Lady Lucinda for her wonderful food and allowing us access to her home. The dedication of all the Aigas staff to make sure that the clients could experience the wonders of this amazing place. Thank you. I will be back next year and bringing three friends with me - look out Aigas.
