Aggie MacKenzie

Christopher Fisher talks to Aggie MacKenzie, queen of clean and star of television show How Clean is Your House?

Tell us about your five favourite places in Scotland. “Let's start with Lilly Loch, near where I was bought up. It is absolutely isolated, there are no roads nearby and you have to walk across the moors. It is also where the ashes of my ex next door neighbour were scattered.

“Then there is Oldshoremore Beach, which is on the Sutherland coast, it's fantastic as there is beautiful white sand. It is where my grandparents used to live and we used to go there every summer. This place is absolutely idyllic and it is great as it is completely non-commercial.

“Skye is also special to me, I remember I was the first person to pass my driving test from my class, at 17. Afriend's father lent us his dormobile and there were seven or eight of us bundled in it driving off to Skye. We had a weekend getting up to no good and had such a good time. Looking back, I think our parents were mad to let us go.

“The Isle of Iona means so much to me too; I just remember the peace and tranquility there.

I'm not a religious person, but I really felt a sense of spirituality and I would really like to go back.

“Finally, the most important place for me in Scotland is my mum's kitchen table. Her cooking has always been fantastic and there are so many memories associated with that table!”
