  Glenbogle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glenbogle is a fictional Scottish estate, created by Compton Mackenzie in his Highland novels, and featured in the BBC series Monarch of the Glen.
The novels place the estate near Ben Nevis (one of the laird's titles is "The Ben Nevis"), but the series is filmed in and around the Cairngorms, Badenoch and Strathspey, with Ben Nevis replaced by the fictional Ben Bogle.
This station is the terminus of the Strathspey Railway, a restored steam railway.

There is no emergency, as it turns out, just a gambit by Archie's mother, Molly (the radiant Susan Hampshire), to effect a reconciliation between her son and his cantankerous, relentlessly bitter father, Hector (Richard Briers).
