Golly comes to terms with Duncan and Jess going out, but Jess cannot cope with Duncan constantly being around her. It's about a dysfunctional but loving Scottish family (who all have inexplicably British accents) eking the last scraps of viability out of their family home, Glenbogle, a relict estate in the highlands.

Golly is loaned out for advice to other estate owners, and city girl Isobel tries to win her late grandmother's farm back from local farmer Sheriff Reavey. However, though we as viewers may know that a couple are not saving sex for marriage, we are not going to actually see much of anything. Lizzie realises that there is a spark between her best friend, Katrina, and Archie, but Katrina denies the allegations and realises a truth about Lizzie herself.Katrina and Kilwillie go head to head in the local election, but Kilwillie's loyalty seems non-existent when instead of campaigning, he joins Hector in the shoot. Meanwhile, Katrina is put up for election on the Highland council and enlists the help of a woman from the marketing company to plan her election strategy against her opponent, Kilwillie. Meanwhile, after an old diary emerges, it appears that Katrina is in fact Hector's daughter; distraught with this revelation, Molly decides to move out.

While he may have been a heartthrob, Archie could be a pouty sod, wafting around the castle like he hated every minute of it, mooning after a succession of appalling females while all the time the real gem was right under his nose. Lexie's mum offers to pay Hector's death duties and tries to organise Lexie and Archie's wedding herself. Paul takes care of 'The Stags', the Glenbogle football team who are set to play their annual football match against their bitter rivals. Archie gets cold feet and tries to persuade Lexie to join him in a quest to the USA offered by Kilwillie. It later emerges that he had propositioned her whilst she was married and when she refused to run off with him, he left the estate - and his brother - never to speak to Hector again.

Stella is told she can leave Glenbogle, but she has fallen in love with Archie; she sets about ruining the Midsummer's Ball so she can stay. Lexie struggles to become the new Lady of Glenbogle after her marriage to Archie, but tries to continue some of her old duties, especially cooking.
