Beechgrove Garden presenter sadly passes away aged 89
Loved the programme, having watched it for a very long time. He had such knowledge and passion for botany. It was like viewing my parents, in their garden. 🪴

RIP

Anyone else remember Riki Fulton and Gregor Fisher affectionate parody of Beechgrove in their Scotch and Wry show ..Jim and George portrayed getting a bit tiddly with wee nips from a bottle of whiskey hidden in the greenhouse.
Nobody laughed as much as them when they saw it!

Guy with the beard maybe Bill Torrance
George Barron and Jim McColl the original presenters, Carole Baxter did a lot of the gardening in the background. Good that she got her chance to be a presenter. Met Jim McColl years ago at the Highland Show. My mother is from Buchan originally so loved this programme. Any chance to hear a bit of Doric
