Take the high road

I loved Take The High Road. About 35 years ago we stayed at Loch Lomond Youth Hostel - which was a castle, a beautiful place just a short drive from Luss. While we were there, Take the High Road was filmed one day in the grounds. I was so excited . I got some autographs and a photo taken with two of the cast.

I loved Take the High Road, it was my all time favourite soap... but by the end , like so many of the major soaps today it got silly storylines, and I stopped watching it.. but I'd love to see it again... and yes it was filmed in Luss..

I liked that show! A nice gentle story. I often think of it!

Paddyanne how lovely to have been married in Luss. It's a beautiful place and you are very lucky to live nearby

I always used to watch Take The High Road when my children were small. I once saw the actress who played the dreadful Mrs Mac being interviewed and she was so nice! She said viewers used to send her suitable hats.

Drs Finlay and Cameron with Janet, in Tannochbrae, were favourites in our house.

Loved take the high road Snedden was my afternoon crush Naughty but nice.

Am I remembering that Isabel's husband, Dougal, (?) left her and she was broken hearted. It was lovely gentle series.

It was A Country Practice.
Loved it.

I loved Take the High Road, Sons and Daughters and General Hospital. There was also an Australian soap about vets, I can't remember what it was called.
I enjoyed Brookside too.

We went to Luss about 20 years ago as a part of a coach trip.
I was so delighted to have purchased a bar of 'tablet' in Isobel Blaire's shop
Next day we went to Callander where the origional Doctor Finlay was filmed.
We had the best 'fish supper' ever at 1 0'clock in the afternoon.
What a holiday for us West Midlanders of a certain age.

I got married in Luss.46 years ago .Its my favourite place in the world and we stand at the altar of Luss church every anniversary .We only live about 8 miles from it though so its a place we often just visit for a coffee or a lovely meal at one of the hotels .The programme is very dated but was a vital part in the careers of many young actors including Alan Cummings

Thanks notnecessarilywiser I have signed up to watch later

I used to watch Take the High Road sometimes.

I loved Sons and Daughters. I used to tape it and binge watch on a Friday night and often had a whiskey/whisky with the character Patricia ?

Take the High Road can be found on STVplayer, if you want to see it again.

going way back....what about doctor finlays casebook

Yes I like watching 'four in a bed'. am surprised how far they go to find a bit of dust or a tiny hair, they get so upset with each other.

Oh yes remember Take the High Road a time in my life when I sat down for an hour or so to switch off between work and picking up the children from school I watched that and Neighbours, The series abruptly finished without any explanation, although I think it was still shown in Scotland. A friend of mine complained to ITV about that, ostensibly on behalf her mother, but actually she was an avid follower of the programme too.

I also visited the place where it was filmed around Loch Lomond I believe on a family holiday, husband and kids moaning and groaning all the while in what they considered my batshit, time wasting quest!

I don't watch any daytime tv anymore, only Four in a Bed when it's on, late afternoon.

Mrs Mac and her hats!

My English teacher Robert Trotter was Murdoch.

I remember my mum watching it.
Plus I remember Emmerdale when it was Emmerdale Farm.
Sure there was a daytime soap called ‘sons & daughters’ too?

Oh I used to watch it all the time. I saw a clip from it recently, it was so dated!
