Denis Lawson is the latest big name to sign up for a guest role in the much anticipated second series of ITV’s hit period drama Victoria.

Our lovely photo (bottom) shows Perthshire-born Denis looking splendid in tartan, as his character, the Duke of Atholl, greets Queen Victoria and Prince Albert (Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes) to the Highlands. The scenes were filmed at Blair Castle, Perthshire.

New Tricks star Denis joins an impressive list of guest stars for series two, with Line of Duty’s Martin Compston as Dr Robert Traill.
