Alexander Morton, who has died of heart failure aged 81, was a stalwart of Scottish theatre, finding a wide audience on television as Golly Mackenzie in the BBC’s Sunday evening feelgood drama Monarch of the Glen, based on Compton Mackenzie’s novels.
As the only cast member to appear in all 64 episodes of the seven series (2000-05), he played the loyal gamekeeper and ghillie, guiding hunting and fishing parties on the fictional Glenbogle estate in the Scottish Highlands.
