Pennie Latin visits Gordon Castle in Fochabers.

Pennie Latin visits Gordon Castle in Fochabers, where an eight-acre walled garden is being redesigned by owners Zara and Angus Gordon Lennox.

This week Pennie Latin visits Gordon Castle in Fochabers and meets owners Zara and Angus Gordon Lennox who are carefully redesigning the 8 acre walled garden there. Pennie hears about their plans for creating a space, not just for growing veggies, but somewhere people can engage with the history of their family castle, eat great food, have fun and come away with some knowledge about growing your own. Gardener John Hawley and executive chef John Morrison give Pennie a tour of the vegetable beds, whilst they gather ingredients for lunch. A delicious posh dish using locally caught hake and crab is on the menu today and whilst Pennie is busy in the kitchen with chef John, Dan Holland gets a tour of the winners and runners up at the vegetable competition at the Black Isle show. With onions as big as your head and leeks as long as your leg, Dan finds out some inside secrets from a judges perspective.
