Golly Mackenzie : [at a service dedicating a memorial for Hector] Forgive me, Fiona. I just want to say a few words. Mainly to this man here
[indicates Peter Finlay with his hand]
Golly Mackenzie : Peter Finlay you've been gone from this place for nigh on forty years and I've seen your face in my dreams countless times. You suffered a terrible wrong here. You were no thief. And I know that for the simple reason that I was.
Jessica McCrae : Dad...
Golly Mackenzie : I know... I know. It was Old Golly, the faithful servant, the upright man. I'm afraid it's true.
Molly : My ring?
Golly Mackenzie : I stole this ring. I robbed my Laird and I let another man suffer for my crime. Molly... Molly... the moment you came to Glenbogle I was daft about you. Never felt that way before. But, you were out of my reach and you had Hector, the love of your life. But I had to have something of you, a token of you, of what I felt for you...
Molly : Golly...
Golly Mackenzie : So I took this and I stood by and watched Hector convict young Finlay here. You were in Molly's bedroom that day fixing her radiator. Wrong place, wrong time.
Peter Finlay : You!
Golly Mackenzie : I was young... very young, very foolish. I'm making no excuses.If it's any consolation, I have been punished for it. I've never known happiness - lasting happiness - with any woman. Well... I brought that on myself.
[hands ring to Molly]
Golly Mackenzie : Please, take that back. I'm sorry. I'm sorry Peter.
