Brilliantly Cast Series Shot On Location

I first watched these DVD's on loan from our local library. After checking them out a couple of times, I finally bought the series. I don't usually buy DVD's as I don't re-watch them, but this was worth the purchase. I always pick up something new and by owning them I get to share them with friends. All the characters ring true and develop as the series continues. Often topical subjects theme the episodes, but other times they just reflect small town life in Scotland.

Hardly playing second fiddle is Hamish's dog - a Westie with a huge personality. There is enough drama, comedy, and romance to be entertaining without any hints of overacting or playing to the camera. As an aside, if you are a reader of the MC Beaton books about Hamish Macbeth, you will not recognize the character. He is almost the exact opposite of his character in the books and yet, I think I like the video version better.
