Iona Maclean

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Iona Maclean is a fictional character in the BBC Scotland TV Series Monarch of the Glen. Iona is played by Scottish actress Kirsty Mitchell.

Born and bred in Glenbogle, Iona is the local shepherdess who is never more at home than when out in the windswept, empty countryside with only her dog for company. In the opening episode of series seven, the laird, Paul Bowman, accidentally burns down her home, forcing Iona to move into Glenbogle House. Her new living arrangements force Iona to form a relationship with the laird who, up until now, she's always found intimidating. Instinctive and honest, there's a hidden beauty beneath Iona's layers of waterproof clothing and muddy wellies. But as far as she's concerned she doesn't even register on Paul's emotional radar. However, all that is about to change.
