Have you ever looked at the remains of an old building or castle and thought - what would it be like to restore it and open it as a restaurant? Well, that's exactly what we'll be talking about on this episode of Scran.

Rosalind recently travelled to Mingary Castle, on the west coast of Scotland in Ardnamurchan Estate where she met with Chef Patron Colin Nicolson and his partner, general manager and co-owner Jessica Thompson who have set about making this restaurant with rooms a success despite the obvious challenges of its location.

Rosalind learns about how the pair ended up there and what their vision for the castle is. Taking a tour around the community garden and shop, Rosalind also speaks to Rachel Middleton who cares for the garden and supplies the castle and locals alike with an abundance of fresh fruit, herbs and vegetables.
