Duncan McKay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Duncan McKay is a fictional character in the BBC Scottish drama TV series Monarch of the Glen. Duncan is played by Scottish actor Hamish Clark.

Ranger at Glenbogle, Duncan has always had a crush on cook Lexie MacDonald. He proposed to her, bought a dress for her, even climbed up a castle for her - but she would never go out with him. But he eventually got together with someone else - another cook - Irene Stuart. But she became pregnant, and left Duncan and Glenbogle. At the beginning of series five, Duncan cleared out his aunt's house and came across a live World War II German bomb belonging to his Uncle Angus. Duncan and Laird Archie MacDonald were unable to diffuse it, so the house was evacuated and the bomb blew up a section of Glenbogle House. A few weeks after Duncan met Lord Kilwillie's niece Hermione Trumpington-Bonnet via Molly's Dating Agency, they got together, however after he got a job with Hermione at Kilwillie Castle, he was not told the truth about a new Eco-Dome Hermione and her mother - Lady Dorothy were building, so he felt he could not trust Hermione any more and left her. At the end of series five, Duncan got together with his best friend Golly Mackenzie's daughter - Jess. However he left Jess and Glenbogle when he got a job as a DJ in Edinburgh. Duncan returned in the seventh and final series of Monarch of the Glen, with Jess un-impressed that he left her without saying a proper goodbye.
