It's filmed where the imaginary town of Lochdubh is located, there's a town policeman called Hamish Macbeth, and that's all that's similar to the book series. Robert Carlyle (plays Hamish) is a short blond man; our book Hamish is a tall redhead. None of the other characters bear even a passing resemblance to our favorites in the book - not even the dog's name! What's the point - beyond trading on a popular author and her popular characters. That aside - if you haven't read the books, you'll enjoy the series because it's entertaining and the scenery authentic. If you've read the books, you'll be disappointed.
