Pennie Latin visits Kellie Castle in Fife. Guide Margaret Hunter shows Pennie round the castle, now owned by the National Trust for Scotland. This castle once played home to Robert the Bruce's daughter but now it's home to the...Cucamelon? As well as this vegetable/fruit hybrid they also have 75 varieties of apples here and 25 varieties of rhubarb. Gardener's Diane Barrie and Mark Armour, very bravely asks Pennie to sample one of the more palatable varieties, known as the 'champagne rhubarb.' Not a good idea! Dan Holland visits local chef, Craig Millar, who uses produce from Kellie castle in his restaurant. Craig's rose panacotta and deep-fried seaweed kale are being delivered to the castle for lunch, that's if Dan doesn't eat it all en route! Also gardening expert Richard Crawford tells us to keep on top of our weeding in 'jobs for the fortnight'. Show less
