Hamish Macbeth: Series 1-3

Now together in one collector’s set, all three seasons of Hamish Macbeth, the quirky award-winning series starring Robert Carlyle! Before his breakout performances in Trainspotting and The Full Monty, Robert Carlyle starred as Police Constable Hamish Macbeth, who finds himself transferred from his Glasgow beat to the village of Lochdubh, a town where the strangeness of the villagers is exceeded only by the strangeness of the goings on. Good thing Hamish Macbeth is in town. He proves to be a natural at maintaining the social balance of his tight-knit town while solving crimes along the way. Whether it’s tracking down 300 weight of salt, mediating a family feud featuring space aliens, or a search for the Stone of Destiny, there’s nothing Hamish Macbeth and his trusty canine sidekick Wee Jock can’t handle.
