    • Trivia
      Tom Baker described his character of Donald MacDonald as "a combination of an old George Clooney with a touch of the ghost of Hamlet's father and a bit of Vanessa Feltz".
    • Goofs
      The details of Hector's history as a laird are altered throughout the series. For example, in the first episode of the series he claims to be the 14th laird of Glenbogle but in the 6th season he is referred to as the 23rd.
    • Quotes

      Donald Ulyses MacDonald: [referring to Molly's 60th birthday party] I will help in any capacity. Perhaps I could help with the car parking?

      Paul Bowman-MacDonald: Great idea, Uncle! And we can put King Herod in charge of the creche!

    Enjoyable!
    Found this little gem on one of our Tampa Bay PBS stations. I generally like most BBC shows that get sent our way via PBS/A&E. I won't waste time talking plot, as I've just had three episodes under my belt. And I think I've come in in the second or third series, missing the first.

    Quite an able cast, and the locations are glorious to behold! I am looking forward to watching this for as long as WUSF-TV, continues to broadcast it, here, in Tampa

    One minor thing to note, you MAY want to have the closed captioning on, if you have any hearing troubles, as Dawn Steele's character "Lexi" has an accent most Americans may not be able to decipher. But that's one very minor thing.

    (2013 Update) This great series is on Netflix. I've just rediscovered this gem, and am starting out from the beginning, as opposed to about the third series when I first spotted it. I now appreciate it better than before. Again I say the visuals on the show are as strong as most of the stories. I find myself watching more for Scotland that the tales from Glenbogle...
