Scottish Highlands
|
|
Join us in the Highlands as the bracken and birch leaves turn gold and the red deer are rutting in the hills. We explore the Caledonian Pine Forest and firths full of wildfowl while based on a splendid Victorian estate. Expect roaring Red Deer stags in the estate and roaring log fires to come home to!
The Scottish Highlands are at their most romantic in late September and October, with autumn colours permeating the trees, mist lingering in the glens and stags roaring in the hills. We stay fifteen miles southwest of Inverness, based at Aigas Field Centre, a fine Victorian mansion built as a shooting lodge. Aigas has been Scotland's premier residential Field Centre since 1977, and is the family home of Sir John and Lady Lucy Lister-Kaye. They always make us feel most welcome here, and John delights in interpreting the origins of the landscape, geology and ancient history that are unique to Aigas, and that form a backdrop to his much-acclaimed book 'Song of the Rolling Earth'.
Travel Clients may be met either at Inverness railway station, or at Inverness airport after 3 pm on Day 1, or may arrive at Aigas after 3pm. We gather for afternoon tea at 4.30pm on Day 1 and the holiday concludes after breakfast on Day 8, although earlier departures can be arranged. Accommodation At Aigas Field Centre, as described above in twin rooms with private bathrooms. A very limited number of single rooms are available.
