We went to Aigas Field Centre, Scotland's premier field studies centre, dedicated to nature conservation and environmental education.
Aigas Field Centre is the family home of founder, Sir John Lister-Kaye and his wife, Lady Lucy Lister-Kaye.
Sir John is a renowned naturalist, conservationist, author, and educator who founded the Aigas Field Centre in 1977. In addition to their home, Aigas Field Centre is a community, a nature reserve, and a place where individuals from all around the world can meet to learn and enjoy the wildlife, scenery and cultural heritage of the Scottish highlands.
We heard Sir John and his daughter Herimone talk about the work of the Field Centre and then got a tour of the house before having lunch.
After lunch, Lady Lucy took us on a tour of some of the 25 acres of gardens that she designed and put in over a 40 year period.
Both Sir John and Lady Lucy were so inspiring with their dedication to environmental education as well as the hospitality and good food they extended to our group.
