Monarch of the Glen is a British drama television series produced by Ecosse Films for BBC Scotland and broadcast on BBC One for seven series between 2000 and 2005.
The Monarch of the Glen television series is loosely based on Sir Compton Mackenzie's Highland Novels, which are set in the same location but in the 1930s and 1940s. The first book in that series is called The Monarch of the Glen which was a reference to the famous painting by Landseer. The first five series 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 series of the show focused on new Laird Paul Bowman trying to modernise the estate, primarily starring Lloyd Owen, Tom Baker, Alexander Morton, and Susan Hampshire.
The series was created by Michael Chaplin and produced by Nick Pitt, Paddy Higson, Jeremy Gwilt, Stephen Garwood, and Rob Bullock. The show saw many directors, most notably Edward Bennett, Richard Signy, Rick Stroud, and Robert Knights; and many writers including Chaplin, Niall Leonard, John Martin Johnson, Leslie Stewart, and Jeremy Front. The series premiered in February 2000, and its seventh and final series was broadcast from September 2005 until October 2005 with 64 episodes in total.
The Monarch of the Glen is an oil-on-canvas painting of a red deer stag completed in 1851 by the English painter Sir Edwin Landseer, which was commissioned as part of a series of three panels to hang in the Palace of Westminster in London. It was one of the most popular paintings throughout the 19th century, and reproductions in steel engraving sold very widely, and the painting itself was finally bought by companies to use in advertising. The painting had become something of a cliché by the mid-20th century, as "the ultimate biscuit tin image of Scotland: a bulky stag set against the violet hills and watery skies of an isolated wilderness", according to the Sunday Herald.
The stag has twelve points on his antlers, which in deer terminology makes him a "royal stag" but not a "monarch stag", for which sixteen points are needed.
History
Landseer was a member of the Royal Academy, a favourite of Queen Victoria, and had become famous for his paintings and drawings of animals. His later works include the sculptures of the lions at the foot of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square. From the 1840s, he produced a series of intricately observed studies of stags based on those he had seen on the trips he had been making to the Scottish Highlands since 1824. In 1850 Landseer received a national commission to paint three subjects connected with the chase for the Refreshment Rooms of the House of Lords, for which he produced Monarch of the Glen and two other paintings. Once they were completed the House of Commons refused to grant the £150 promised for the commission, and, as a result, the paintings were sold to private collectors.
As we prepare for the Scottish National Gallery to reopen, join the conversation about the significance of one of the Gallery's most famous residents.
In March 2017 the National Galleries of Scotland was able to secure Edwin Landseer’s iconic painting ‘The Monarch of the Glen’ (1851) for the nation. After initially hanging in the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh, the painting embarked on a nationwide tour of Scotland. It was on loan to four venues across the country, giving the public a chance to see and interact with it. We want to know what the public think about it and how it makes them feel.

Ardverikie Estate aka Glenbogle from Monarch of the Glen
Traveling along Loch Laggan we came upon the Gate House for the Ardverikie Estate and Gatehouse. The gatehouse is at the entrance of the large estate that was used as the shooting location of the BBC series, Monarch of the Glen. Fans of the series will remember the gate house and large estate house that is shown across Loch Laggen in the video. This is the fictious home of Hector, Molly and Archie MacDonald

A Monarch of the Glen Archie/Lexie fan tribute. I'm only using seasons 1-3 because I think the show becomes absolute rubbish from 4 onwards, sadly.
