Customer Reviews

Jings, crivvens and help ma boab
Monarch of the Glen was a television drama, produced by Ecosse Films for BBC Scotland and originally broadcast on BBC One in the United Kingdom. The series premiered in February 2000, and its seventh and final season was broadcast from September 2005 until October 2005 - with 64 episodes in total.

Monarch of the Glen is loosely based on Compton Mackenzie's Highland Novels, which are set in the same location but in the 1930s and 1940s. The real Monarch of the Glen is a famous Landseer oil that every Scot will be familiar with.

The first five seasons of Monarch of the Glen told the story of young restaurateur, Archie MacDonald, trying to restore his childhood home in the Scottish Highlands, whilst the final two seasons of the show focused on new Laird Paul Bowman trying to modernise the estate. I kind of see it as heartbeat in the Highlands - it had the same vibe and timeslot - although it has a better cast perhaps.

Roaming through the highlands
Monarch of the Glen is a warm, emotional and yet fun look at life with Scottish Laird Archie and his lady Lexie. Retiring Laird Hector features in the first four series, then after his demise the series does take a rather different turn. Suddenly the financial problems disappear and the whole place seems to have had a spit and polish. A very enjoyable series for all age groups.
