Aigas Field Centre is a nature centre based at the home of naturalist and author Sir John Lister-Kaye, Aigas House. The centre was opened in 1977 by eminent ecologist Sir Frank Fraser Darling, and provides nature-based holidays for adults and environmental education services for school children. It is located at Aigas, next to the River Beauly, 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) west of Beauly and 20 kilometres (12 mi) west of Inverness, in the Highland of Scotland.
Aigas House, a Victorian sporting estate near Beauly, had previously been used by Inverness County Council as an old peoples home, before Lister-Kaye persuaded them to sell it to him.
In October 2012, it was host to a series of the BBC's live-action nature documentary, Autumnwatch.
Famous quotes containing the words field and/or centre:
“What though the field be lost?
All is not lost; the unconquerable Will,
And study of revenge, immortal hate,
And courage never to submit or yield:
And what is else not to be overcome?”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“A toddling little girl is a centre of common feeling which makes the most dissimilar people understand each other.”
