Duncan and Laird Archie MacDonald were unable to defuse 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. However, they get together in the end.
