The
remote Highland communities surrounding Loch Laggan are
preparing for the return of their Monarch for a third
season filming the BBC1 drama Monarch Of The Glen.
The hit drama is soon to begin filming at Ardverikie Estate,
home to the Gothic castle known better to viewers as Glenbogle.
Dawn England, Press Officer for BBC Scotland Drama has
confirmed that crew are soon arriving in the area. "Filming
is about to get underway at the end of April and will
carry on throughout summer and autumn," she says.
The series has been pre-sold already, to New Zealand,
Australia and the US.
The multi-million-pound production is based on the Highland
novels of Compton Mackenzie, where the fictitious Glenbogle
Estate is reluctantly inherited by Archie MacDonald, played
by Alastair Mackenzie. It is produced by Ecosse Films
and the series is set around Loch Laggan, the villages
oif Laggan, Kingussie, and other locations up and down
Badenoch and Strathspey.
BBC1 is due to screen the third series next year.
