It was the Torrey Canyon oil disaster in 1967 that tipped John Lister-Kaye into becoming a naturalist and conservationist. It was a decision that led him to the highlands of Scotland and the derelict 19th-century mansion near Inverness, which he turned into the world famous Aigas Field Centre.
Song of the Rolling Earth is his celebration of nature and the land that has been his home and work for over 25 years. It is a powerful evocation of the turbulent human history of the Highlands; its wealth of wildlife, and the magnificent landscape of mountains, forests and lochs that surround his field centre. It is a journey of personal discovery; an enchanting account that captures the hills and glens in all their glory - the brown trout in the loch, the ospreys and swifts overhead, the red squirrels and roe deer of the woods - and a fascinating exploration of man's ever-changing relationship with his environment.
