The appointment of a Head Ranger - charged with dragging
Glenbogle into the 21st century - brings fresh tension to the big house.
The competing applications pose a tough dilemma for Archie. Should he promote
from within or buy in outside expertise and risk alienating the household?
Outsider Fergal MacLure has all the right qualifications, but how will Duncan
and Golly react to being passed over, and what will his appointment mean
for Archie and Katrina's relationship? It is clear that Katrina has already
taken a shine to Fergal, and Archie knows that appointing the dashing Irishman
could cost him dear. |

Archie would rather just forget about his 30th birthday,
but there's precious little chance of that with Molly secretly organising

marry Archie off. He thinks he's struck gold when he meets Kieran, a rich
Irish nobleman, and his charming daughter Tanya. Whilst fending off a host
of unsuitable brides, Archie has a fight on his hands with a cantankerous
former tenant, the cranky Tosh McKellan. Katrina and Fergal are on hand
to help, and Katrina makes the most of the opportunity to let the birthday
boy know that she and Fergal could be more than just good friends. |
