"This is addictive stuff. My social life has suffered for the last 2 weekends and my house is reaching the level of candidacy for "Clean House".
I had seen a jumble of episodes on tv, but between PBS begathons when the show was pre-empted and business committments I wasn't able to see the entire series and get the full flavor of it.
I love the series, the characters,and the scenery. I want to live in Glenbogle! The characters and story lines sort of suck you in.
If you buy the complete series be prepared. Don't make any unbreakable appointments or committments. It's hard to "put down""
Great Series

"Those who like Ballykissangel will enjoy this series. We have not viewed the entire series yet, but it is very well written, acted and the scenery is spectacular. Quirky like Northern Exposure! Enjoy!!"
Wonderful

"Being a Gael the series was sweet and sour to me. The program itself is wonderful. Those who enjoy the good times and the bad in this glen full of many "characters" will appreciate this grand collection. The sour is that this scene is too real for many of us, with our own Clan Chiefs being raised in areas outside the West Highlands and Islands and not fully caring about those locals who choose a life in their family's home areas. The wonderful thing for me is that the "big house" is still a part of this non existent MacDonald family and Clan, and that poor Archie, with all his faults truly cares...the only soil my own Chiefs own today in Appin is the soil they are buried in and I think of it often. Cheers to you Archie."
A most enjoyable series!

"This BBC series has warmth, humor, well developed characters, and an engaging story line. The Scottish scenery is magnificent. It's lovely to have the complete series to enjoy, and though the earlier seasons seem better written, the concluding episode did a satisfying job of gathering loose ends. The last disk of Season 5 contains a Special Feature, which is actually an episode, so taking the time to watch it before beginning the 6th season will keep the story coherent."
