This British drama with plenty of Highland heart returned to the BBC in December 2001 for a third series, an 11-episode exploration of the trials and tribulations of the new Laird of Glenbogle, Archie MacDonald (Alastair Mackenzie). Archie has settled into this role by making the family castle into a tourist attraction, something his father, Hector (Richard Briers), reluctantly agrees with this season. The collapse of the bridge at the end of Series 2 has again plunged the estate into financial trouble, causing the bank to send a no-nonsense financial officer, Stella Moon (Alexandra Gilbreath), to keep an eye on its investment. Archie knows that if he objects to Moons interference, the bank could foreclose on the estate: and while he looks to his girlfriend, Katrina (Lorraine Pilkington), for support during this stressful situation, she has been offered a job in London. Her departure offers long-smitten housekeeper Lexie (Dawn Steele) a chance at turning Archies head, but the Laird remains oblivious. The staff of Glenbogle -- gamekeeper Golly (Alexander Morton), handyman Duncan (Hamish Clark), and Lexie -- all have their own problems with Moon when she lays them off to cut down on expenditures. The staff goes on strike in Episode 2, which forces the antagonistic Moon to forge compromises, and friendships. By Episode 9 the estate has become a successful tourist stop, and Moon faces her departure from Glenbogle. But she has recognized her feelings for Archie and sabotages a party held for the investors. At the last moment, Lexie saves the day, and Archie finally notices what has been in front of him all the time and proposes to her. Series 3 eventually concludes with happiness at the upcoming nuptials, and sadness over the death of a main character.

I am so glad they got rid of Katrina. Each episode was so surprising, so different, and so good! The dialogue is as good as ever, as are the plots. The last episode made me cry. I highly recommend this to everyone. If you are even thinking about buying it, buy it, and if youve just stumbled on this page, buy series 1 and 2 now.Also Recommended: monarch of the glen 1 & 2, monk 1 & 2
