Beechgrove follows Sophie McKilligan from being a budding allotment holder in Aberdeen to blossoming as a gardener at Culzean Castle.

Sophie McKilligan first appeared on Beechgrove when Carole went to visit her allotment at Garthdee, in Aberdeen. At that time, Sophie was the youngest allotment holder on the site. Carole helped Sophie with her allotment throughout a season and encouraged her to study horticulture. Having properly caught the gardening bug, Sophie then attended horticultural college, where she passed her exams with flying colours and landed her dream job as gardener at Culzean Castle.

This episode follows Sophie’s development from young allotment holder in Aberdeen to gardener at Culzean Castle, where Sophie now oversees the grand North Walled Garden.
