We watched and enjoyed a few Monarch of the Glen episodes which was a British TV series about a fictional Scottish estate with a hereditary Scottish Laird.
I wondered when we were watching it whether aspects of it reflected some kind of reality about old hereditary Scottish estates and hereditary titles. I also wondered what the Scots thought about all this.
I watched an episode of Great Estates Scotland this evening about Inveraray Castle and I was surprised at how many similarities there seemed to be between fictional television series and reality.
Could somebody talk a bit about this? What are these estates really like and how do these old Scottish estates compare with the old English and Irish estates?
As an aside, one of the things I'd like to do someday is visit one of these old Scottish estates and attend a grand dinner in a great hall with bag pipes playing and me wearing a kilt. Any advice on this?
