Runrig - Alba (Live at Stirling 2018 - Official Video)

[@lucyhill2764]

I only came across runrig because I'm learning Scottish gaelic with dulingo and they are constantly mentioning this band and irn bru 🤣 so found these by chance and even though I'm struggling to keep up with the words I actually really really like it 😍

For a relatively small Country,Scotland has produced some HUGE bands👌❤️

[@AmalieAmmaFaurschou]

So true. They are amazing

[@alexpinnantonio3625]

Yep. And some of the most useful inventions in the world, several of the greatest scientists and writers an so on. A true source of human pushing to greatness for the benefit of all humankind. And, last but not least, some food that is almost unedible like haggis (sorry).

Best voice in Runrig

[@johnmiller260]

The culmination of four and a half decades of amazing Scottish talent on display. Particularly love the sound of his voice echoing off the Castle walls at the 3:11 mark. Beauty defined ! .. Astounding performance !

[@norbertgraber1540]

Not a long story short! I was in Scotland with my two best friends in 1992. With an old Mercedes and three mountain bikes on the roof rack. We changed locations three or four times and parked the car on campsites ("place your car there - so we can have an eye on it" - and it really was almost free - unbelievable) and then set off on our bikes. Each of us had good camping equipment - everything was good. Those were the days of the Sony Walkman (and now I'm finally getting to the point). After we had put up our tents in the evenings (face to face), and pls don't laugh now - it was 1992!!! We used a stainless steel bowl from our camping equipment as an amplifier and tried to position our headphones cleverly so that we could hear RUNRIG as loudly as possible! OMG - Those were the days my friends!

[@lisabranford2071]

So grateful that I was able to be there. My heart still breaks for Malcolm and his grief over their last concert.

Runrig were marvelous i had the honour of seeing them many times including the headline show at loch lomond a full day music festival do fir people who dont know about them check out capercaillie and hothouse flowers music,the balloch show was outstanding and i thought it was a nice touch to have the radio dj tim ferrie introduce them as he had been playing runrigs music for yesrs to get their music to a bigger audience what a night that was,the only thing that beat that was the following year we went to see runrig at the manchester appollo and were dis usdi g were to get something to eat when the guys were on the tourbus at the side of the venue and we had a wee chat and got some autographs really nice guys everyone of them
