Hamish MacBeth

**Mr. MacDougall** · 8th August 07, 01:28 PM

I very much liked "Wee Jock's Lament" as well. It was a very well-crafted episode.

The series as a whole was interesting to a kiltie, in that it showed the Highland attitude to the kilt. There were some folks who wore the kilt to events such as Lochdubh Day and the Ceilidh, but they also wore their kilts to go tramping the hills. The guy selling tartan out of the back of the VW minibus was interesting, too.

I saw it a long time ago and would love to see it again.

The location for the series was Plockton.

I saw that in the credits, but it really didn't mean anything to me, other than to put it on a list of places I'd love to visit, someday. The views over the loch were beautiful.

A catalog search of my local library turns up rather a few Hamish MacBeth novels by M. C. Beaton. Can anyone tell me which is the first?

Thank you kindly for that list!

**pdcorlis** · 13th August 07, 07:51 AM

Uh oh - I'm running out reading material!

A decade ago, when BBC America was new, it showed the best British programs, like Hamish MacBeth and snooker. Now it seems to be a different network entirely, alas. It was Hamish MacBeth that led my wife and I to schedule a week in Scotland when we had to go to London for a dear friend's wedding in the year aught, and we've been going back almost annually since. You wouldn't think Edinburgh would win "Scotland or Maui" vacation discussions more than half the time, especially when we're usually traveling in winter!

Anyway, the DVD release is long overdue, but be warned that an important episode, "West Coast Story," is missing from the first-season DVD because of music-rights issues. Well worth setting up TiVo if you've got it to automatically record anything with the word "Hamish" just in case BBC America ever re-airs the show.

My wife and I used to enjoy Hamish when BBC aired it, and ordered the two DVD's to keep enjoying it. I was told via email by BBC that they intend on bringing it back in about another year. By then we'll be enjoying the third DVD, though.
