My husband and I were familiar with the tv series Monarch of the Glen before purchasing it, we used to watch it on tv all the time. If anyone is interested in the Scottish Highlands and how life is lived there, they will really enjoy Monarch of the Glen. It is very down to earth,it's funny, it's sad at time and the characters are charming, you can't help but fall in love with them all. The scenery is breathtaking. It is a series that you will never get tired of watching. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!
