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 first book in the series is called The Monarch of the Glen (with a conscious reference to the famous Landseer painting). The television drama has been heavily criticised for its "liberty-taking", particularly as Mackenzie, a co-founder of the Scottish National Party, was satirising the pretenses of Scotland's thoroughly anglicised nobility. 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, starring Alastair Mackenzie, Richard Briers, Susan Hampshire and Dawn Steele, whilst the final two seasons of the show focused on new Laird Paul Bowman trying to modernise the estate, primarily starring Lloyd Owen, Tom Baker, Alexander Morton and, once again, Susan Hampshire. Sir (Edward Montague) Compton Mackenzie, (1883–1972), was an Scottish novelist. ...

History

Monarch of the Glen was broadcast in the United Kingdom on Sunday evenings on BBC One, usually at 20.00 GMT (repeats of the series are shown on UKTV Drama). Filming took between six and eight months per series in the Badenoch and Strathspey area of the Scottish Highlands. Seven series, totalling 64 episodes (including a Hogmanay Special), were filmed. The show's mixture of comedy and drama, its location, and cast appealed to countries all over the world, including: USA (BBC America and PBS), Australia (ABC), Canada (BBC Canada), Norway, Sweden, Hong Kong, New Zealand, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Vietnam and Dubai. The series is shown to more than 100 countries on BBC Prime, the BBC's 24-hour global entertainment channel, broadcast to Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It is one of BBC America's most popular imports, despite only broadcasting the first six series. Publicity in America has included front-page coverage on the Chicago Tribune[1], one of the top newspapers in the USA. Monarch of the Glen was Australia's most popular BBC drama in 2002 and 2003 [1] After ratings hit an all-time low in 2004, BBC bosses axed the show, but promised they would bring back many of the cast from earlier series for a fantastic series finale. The seventh and final series did bring back Richard Briers, Hamish Clark and Julian Fellowes[2] as promised by the BBC, but the reunion didn't include Archie or Lexie.

Series synopses

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Series 1

Archie MacDonald, trying to carve a living out of the London restaurant he runs with his girlfriend Justine, is called back to his Highland home, to the bed of his dying father, Hector. When he arrives, however, Archie finds that the idea of his dying father was just a ploy by his dotty mother, Molly, to get him to Scotland and tell him face to face that he has inherited his father's large estate and castle, Glenbogle. Archie faces a tough decision: whether to help the debt-ridden Glenbogle, or to return to Justine in London. Archie meets the local school headteacher, Katrina Finlay, and finds he is set to have a love-hate relationship with her. The fiesty staff of Glenbogle -- Lexie, Golly and Duncan -- prove hard to handle, and his eccentric parents are difficult. To please all, Archie faces a challenge to save Glenbogle.


Series 2

After his split with Justine, Archie finally knows where his future lies - at Glenbogle. With a relationship with Katrina set to bloom, Archie faces obstacles: with his new Head Ranger, Fergal MacClure who has also taken a shine to Katrina, and with Lexie, who seems to have her own eye on the Laird. Hector and Molly face problems, too, as their daughter Lizzie comes, heavily pregnant, to Glenbogle. Hector must visit an old flame, whilst Golly faces a battle with Fergal to keep Duncan as his friend and assistant. Archie once again has a challenge on his hands to save his childhood home and to please all who live there.

Glenbogle has finally lost control of its debts, and the bank, Lascelles, sends Stella Moon to take over the estate as finanical controller. With the hard and stubborn Stella proving difficult to handle, Archie seeks solicitude with Lexie, after his split with Katrina. Duncan also faces romantic problems. Hector's and Molly's relationship goes through bad patches as Molly realises that Hector is spending more time with his chum Kilwillie than with her. Golly is reunited with his daughter after many years, and local entrepreneur Stuart McKintosh tries to take land from under the MacDonalds' feet. Archie faces difficulties in juggling his work, his family and his love life as he loses ultimate control of Glenbogle.

Lexie struggles to become the new Lady of Glenbogle after her marriage to Archie. Molly tries to come to terms with being a widow after Hector's death and finds she has a suitor in the shape of new neighbour, Andrew. Archie is horrified to learn that his father once had an affair and that a child was produced -- and that the child, Paul, is now coming to Glenbogle. Golly is devastated to find that Duncan is romantically involved with new housekeeper, Irene, but Duncan himself is horrified to find that Irene is set to have a child. Archie must deal with his father's astromomical death duties and finds that he has some competition for the Lairdship of Glenbogle.


Series 5

With Glenbogle's financial problems finally over, Archie starts to find he has cold feet and wonders whether his future lies in Glenbogle. Paul returns to Glenbogle to start afresh but is treated like dirt by the locals. Molly wonders whether she is in love after her relationship with Andrew starts to blossom. Golly's daughter, Jess, comes to live in Glenbogle. Duncan finds a new girlfriend in Kilwillie's niece Hermione, and Paul finds he has some admirers in the glen. Lexie wonders whether she has what it takes to be Laird after Archie leaves Glenbogle to climb a mountain with Lizzie in honour of their late father.


Series 6

Paul becomes Laird of Glenbogle after Lexie and Archie move to New Zealand, but he falls in love with Lexie when she comes back to Glenbogle temporarily. Ewan sets up a pirate radio station in the glen, and forms a friendship with Paul's uncle Donald, who comes back to his childhood home under a curfew order. Golly falls in love with new dancing teacher, Meg, but wonders whether he is too old to have a relationship.

Paul tries to decide who he really loves after new arrivals threaten a possible love interest - a new farmer, Isobel.

Ewan wonders whether to stay with girlfriend, Zoe, when he takes a shine to Paul's goddaughter, Amy. Molly becomes a mother- like figure to Golly's new son, Cameron, after the death of Meg. Jess tries to prove herself to her father when she starts to feel Golly does not care about her. Donald wonders whether to go to a retirement home when he starts to feel his age.
