Aigas House

Aigas House is a historic building in Aigas, it is now used as Aigas Field Centre, run by John Lister-Kaye. It is built in the so-called Scots baronial style. The hamlet of Crask of Aigas is a short distance to the east. Eilean Aigas is a nearby island in the River Beauly. The house was for some time the home of Welsh brothers John Carter Allen and Charles Manning Allen, who called themselves the Sobieski Stuarts and spent their time inventing or formalising Scottish tartans.
