Wonderful afternoon at their charity afternoon today in aid of Highland Hospice. Lovely lunch of sandwiches and cake. Grounds are spectacularly beautiful
Just returned from the Wild Animals in a Highland Landscape week. I am delighted to say that the whole experience was so worthwhile. Aigas is like nowhere we have been before. You become totally absorbed in the rhythms and way of life at Aigas, and how Sir John and Lady Lucinda have turned what is essentially their home into a peaceful and welcoming retreat and educational centre, far from the hustle and bustle of daily life. My partner was a little apprehensive that the other guests would be dedicated twitchers - there was certainly a lot of knowledge around the table, but people wanted to share their passions which was infectious, and it was a very friendly environment. Must mention the engaging Dr David - never thought bog myrtle and owl pellets could be so fascinating - and the rangers who are dedicated and enthusiastic. We saw all the wildlife we had hoped for, including dolphins, ospreys, red squirrels (outside our cabin) badger, beavers and pine martin, and some very beautiful parts of the Highlands. The programme is full on, but never rushed. The food was wonderful, and Lady Lucinda went out of her way to help when my boots disintegrated! All in all, a much needed chance to 'stand and stare', breath deeply in the clear air, and re-connect with the natural world.

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.
