Description:
The fortunes of the Macdonalds have always been up and down, but now Paul, Archie's brother, is newly installed as master of Glenbogle. But, he has to prove himself and also come to terms with his feelings for his brother's wife, Lexie. Meanwhile, Hector's flamboyant younger brother comes to visit, causing mayhem from the moment he arrives.

Where Monarch of the Glen: Series Five introduced a number of significant changes to the story of life at Glenbogle estate, a paradise in the Scottish Highlands that belongs to the ancient MacDonald clan, Monarch of the Glen: Series Six begins settling into a different direction with a host of new characters. With the show’s original central character, Archie MacDonald (Alastair MacKenzie), now gone to New Zealand and off the series, the lairdship of Glenbogle has fallen to Archie’s half-brother, the illegitimate Paul Bowman (Lloyd Owen). Off to a bumpy start, Paul tends to alienate family members, support staff, and estate tenants with his cavalier attitude toward MacDonald traditions and the needs of people trying to work the land. Above all, he offends Glenbogle’s longtime ghillie (estate manager), Golly (Alexander Morton), and gets off on the wrong foot with Isobel (Simone Lahbib), a tenant whose small farm is under siege by an avaricious neighbor who wants the deed. All of these situations will smooth out over the course of Season Six’s ten episodes, but there will be many more crises popping up before the highly enjoyable and satisfying finale.
Among other things, Golly falls in love with a dance instructor and then loses her; Archie’s wife Lexie (Dawn Steele), unhappy in her marriage, returns temporarily to Glenbogle and comes perilously close to a romance with Paul; Paul’s uncle Donald MacDonald, black sheep of the clan, returns to Glenbogle after 40 years; Golly’s assistant, Duncan (Hamish Clark), entertains an invitation from Lexie to go to New Zealand and help Archie; and the seemingly unflappable Molly (Susan Hampshire), Archie’s mother, is disheartened by constant pressures within the family and her own loneliness. Longtime fans of Monarch of the Glen might find it takes a lot of adjustment to move on from the show’s wonderful early years, but the new and different Monarch ultimately proves its own worth. --Tom Keogh
