Aigas Field Centre

The centre was opened in 1977 by 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 Scottish Highlands.

The house was then owned by Inverness County Council as an old people's home, before Lister-Kaye persuaded them to sell it to him.

Two Eurasian beavers were released into a 200-acre enclosure, which includes a loch and surrounding woodland.

[2] Aigas was host to a series of the BBC's live-action nature documentary, Autumnwatch in October 2012[3] and Winterwatch in January 2013.
