Aigas offers the perfect set up for field work; with over 25 years experience, superb residential facilities and extensive equipment we have much to offer. Uniquely, we are situated in one of the last wildernesses of Scotland.

Team Building & Environmental Education
Due to popular demand we now offer an educational and fun day out for your secondary students. Breaking away from formal field studies, we includ treasure hunts, pond dipping and games on topics such as climate change, biodiversity and wildlife/organic gardening.
NB. Aigas does not supply qualified teachers. Our qualified rangers will lead and facilitate all school groups in the field and will assist with teaching wherever possible.
