Monarch of the Glen (2000–2005) Cast Then and Now

Step back into the sweeping Scottish Highlands with this look at the cast of Monarch of the Glen, the much-loved BBC drama that ran from 2000 to 2005. Based loosely on the Highland Novels by Compton Mackenzie, the series followed the lives, loves, and challenges of the MacDonald family at the fictional Glenbogle estate.

In this video, we explore how the lives and careers of the Monarch of the Glen cast have evolved since the show first aired. From the stoic Golly Mackenzie to the ever-resourceful Lexie, and from young laird Archie MacDonald to the eccentric Kilwillie, discover where the stars are now, what they’ve been doing since the show ended, and how some became household names.

Whether you’re a devoted fan or revisiting Glenbogle for the first time in years, this “Then and Now” retrospective is a nostalgic tribute to one of British television’s most picturesque dramas.
