Customer Reviews

Family Entertainment
If you have never seen Monarch of the Glen or (like me) only started watching it during series 2 then the purchase of series 1 is a must.
The first series sees Archie conned by his family into travelling to Glenbogle from his home and new business in London in order to take up his new role as Laird of the Glenbogle estate, chief of the MacDonald clan. In true Monarch style, every episode has a good underlying story which is supplemented with a good dose of mad cap antics from Hector and Kilwillie. Golly tries his best to educate Duncan as a Gillie, as well as being his mentor. Archie is constantly put under pressure from the bank but most of all his family which leaves Molly and Lexie to hold things together.
Monarch of the Glen is perfect Sunday evening escapism, no sex, drugs and rock and roll, just wholehearted family entertainment filmed with a backdrop of spectacular Scottish scenery.

Monarch of the glen, Series 1.
I started to watch MOTG from series 2 and missed how the characters ended up in the Scottish Highlands. After spending a couple of nights watching the 1st series it cleared up a lot of puzzles and questions. It is a great series and so have the rest of the show.
You would enjoy this dvd if you loved countryside, humour and action with all this filmed in the wonderful settings of the Scottish Highlands.
All ready ordered the 2nd series and I am certainly saving for the rest of the other series.

Monarch of the Glen is ACE
I've never seen the early series of MOTG. I started watching it from series 4 every friday night on BBC with my mum and dad and I loved it. It is one of my most favourite dramas and always will be, it brings memories back to me of when I was younger. Brill Drama
