Based loosely on [[Literature/HamishMacbeth a series of novels by the same name]], ''Hamish Macbeth'' follows the adventures of the titular character, a constable assigned to the Scottish village of Lochdubh. While Hamish wants nothing more than to go fishing, take walks with his dog, and court his love interest, fate usually intervenes and forces him to actually do his job.
