Product Information

While making the rushed preparations for the family, Justine learns of a past tragedy that still haunts the MacDonald family. Paul helps Amanda plan the spreading of her late father's ashes, but Charles refuses to let a McLeish on MacDonald territory as Jess and Duncan get closer to Golly's disgust.

The series was broadcasting internationally USA ( BBC America and PBS), Australia ( ABC), Canada ( BBC Canada), Norway, Sweden, Hong Kong, New Zealand, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Vietnam and Dubai. Monarch of the Glen was plaid-coloured escapism of the best kind, full of charm and humour but with enough substance to keep more cynical viewers onside. Lexie's mum offers to pay Hector's death duties and tries to organise Lexie and Archie's wedding herself. While the fictional Glenbogle estate in Compton Mackenzie's Highland novels place the estate near Ben Nevis, [2] the series is filmed in and around the Cairngorms, Badenoch and Strathspey, with Ben Nevis replaced by the fictional Ben Bogle. Iona is stunned when her former fiancé, Malcolm McRae, comes to Glenbogle to help save the estate's forest from a spreading fungi.

Monarch Of The Glen is part of that picturesque, whimsical genre beloved of Sunday evenings on British television and which has spawned shows like Ballykissangel, Darling Buds Of May and Heartbeat. Molly helps Jess train for a competition for the glen's best ghillie, as Jess tries to show Golly how much she is trying to impress him. Lexie's estranged father turns up in Glenbogle, on the run from a vicious man named 'Billy the Butcher'. The challenges of being a single parent compel Golly to consider giving baby Cameron to Meg's sister to raise.

Paul is surprised when the tree specialist he hired to check a potential infection on the estate turns out to have once left Iona at the alter; and is less than pleased to learn he must cut down acres of trees to save the forest. Golly has to decide whether to give his new son Cameron away to his late partner Meg's sister or whether to keep him.I offer no apologies as this series is the sort of purchase to be made by someone familiar with the series rather than a blind purchase. The engagement causes friction between Archie and Hector, who disapproves of the match because he fears Lexie may feel trapped on the estate and leave Archie — as Molly once left him.

Ardverikie House, designed by John Rhind in 1870 and built in the Scottish baronial style, depicts Glenbogle Castle in Monarch of the Glen, while location filming took place in Kingussie and Laggan and scenes involving the loch use Loch Laggan.Alex becomes the estate factor, makes Paul be a traditional Laird, and exploits Isobel over a proposal about her trees. Throughout the first three series of the show, while Archie was moping around with uberbitch Justine and droopy Katrina, fans were wishing the dozy young Laird would spot the perfect mate standing at the castle Aga. Duncan's pen pal Marie-Helene decides to come to stay at Glenbogle; Duncan has been telling Marie-Helene he is Laird and Archie is forced to be Head Ranger for the week.
