Love is in the air for both young and old in Glenbogle... more ». But nothing is as it seems on the Scottish estate. Will they all live happily ever after?

"There is an arc to all series, with a point somewhere in the middle being considered the apex. So while series 7 isn't the classic era of Monarch of the Glen it nevertheless has some great stories, quite a few endearing moments, and great acting. There are few missteps here, the primary one being Duncan's unbelievable return. I really enjoyed the Duncan McKay character but it seemed improbable that a gilly would take off for the big city to be a DJ, so perhaps that story line was destined to fall flat. However, most of the other story lines reach a satisfying conclusion.
I'll miss the folks at Glen Bogle quite a bit (including Duncan), but it was nice to have a satisfying farewell."
Satisfying conclusion

"We fell in love with Monarch of the Glen when, by chance, we discovered the series at our public library. We were hooked! We couldn't wait for the final season's DVDs to be released. Although it only includes six episodes, Series 7 is full of surprises and the usual fun. I won't give any of that away...I'll just say that our whole family found it to wrap up with a satisfying conclusion. We're sorry to say farewell to the delightful cast of characters and all that lovely Scottish scenery.
If you haven't dipped into any of the Monarch of the Glen series yet, start from Series 1, gather the whole family on the couch and settle in to many hours of guaranteed entertainment--an overall feast for the eyes and the heart."
Monarch of the Glen-Series 7

"While it was sad to see the series end, I mostly enjoyed the last season. I only wish Duncan McKay, (played by Hamish) had been more involved. It was good to see Hector MacDonald, (played by Richard Briers) again, and it was a clever re-introduction. I only wish Alistair Mackenzie, (Archie), and Dawn Steele, (Lexie) had been available for one last hurrah, (so to speak.) There was a bittersweet ending that will be memorable for all Monarch viewers, I wish that the ends had been tied together a little better. I guess time and finances just didn't permit. All in all, if you've become a fan of Monarch, you won't feel right unless you pick up this last offering. It still has all of the things we've grown to love about this series, the awesome filming of the Scottish Highlands, the great characters, and the actors who portray them, and the quality we not only expect, but demand. It's worth the money."
Old Fashioned "Feel Good" series!

"The Whole series is a wonderful blend of quirky characters, tradition and modern problems. The acting is superb! So Sorry to see it end. This is what American Television should strive for."

"This series from BBC Scotland was absolutly wonderful. An enthralling series about a Laird in Scotland and his family and life in the Scottish highlands. Once you get started you can't stop, it's that good."
