Alastair MacKenzie: (From when he was filming Monarch of the Glen) Spending time there has rekindled the fire for me. I've fallen head over heels in love with the Highlands... The landscape is so powerful, it's like another leading character in the drama. There's something out there that's so overwhelmingly beautiful it's beyond our control... It gives your soul space to breathe. With its sense of history and magnificence, it has a fairytale quality to it. Monarch of the Glen reflects the vastness and the magnitude of that countryside. God is in those hills. If I were called upon to create a religion, I'd base it on mountains.
