Over the course of six episodes, the early years of Dr. Finlay are explored, as he gets to grips with the locals in the Scottish Highland town of Levenford. But the new doctor is full of surprises; caring, stub-born, idealistic and clever, but he proves to be more than a match for the local residents. His patients range from the stingiest and most cunning widow in Scotland to a pantomime actress, and from a hen-pecked husband, to the Scobie sisters, who have managed to live together for fifteen years without speaking.

The Green Years is a 1944 novel by A. J. Cronin which traces the formative years of an Irish orphan, Robert Shannon, who is sent to live with his draconian maternal grandparents in Scotland. An introspective child, Robert forms an attachment to his roguish great-grandfather, who draws the youngster out of his shell with his raucous ways.
