Lochdubh: a frontier town in the wild west of Scotland. One hotel, one general store, one doctor and one lawman - PC Hamish Macbeth (Robert Carlyle). He's the sherrif - with his own singular methods of dealing with crime and misdemeanors. When a notorious bully disappears,and three hundred weight of salt goes missing from the local shop, Hamish (and his canine side-kick, Wee Jock) sniff out the unsavoury connection. But when an incomer forces her notions of "Scottishness" on the unwilling locals, even he is suprised to discover the culprit behind a series of poison pen letters and an attempted murder. If only his love life were as easy to solve; but that's another story... Many a baffling mystery and outrageous scam lurk behind the closed doors of Lochdubh; and Hamish needs all his skill to keep the big boys from Inverness off his patch. Includes all the episodes from Season One of Hamish Macbeth except West Coast Story.
