Born in Edinburgh’s Eastern General and living in the city until the age of eight and returning to live there from the age of 18, there’s no doubt Craig and Charlie Reid regard the capital as home.
The most poignant song from their new album ‘Angry Cyclist’, Streets of Edinburgh is a tribute to the city. It sings from the heart about what the capital and the people they have known over the years, mean to them.
“Folk have been asking about that song - were you waiting to write it?” said Craig, who didn’t want it to be sentimental. “It wasn’t like that at all. Sometimes when you get a completed tune it takes weeks and weeks and weeks to get the lyrics. This time I got the tune, then the lyrics just kind of fell out. It didn’t take very long. I hadn’t been thinking about the city or anything like that. I just kind of wrote about my feelings towards it and experiences.”
The accompanying video was written and directed by Rianne White who, as well as directing the band’s recent Angry Cyclist video, is renowned for her work with the likes of Young Fathers (‘Lord’ video). It acts as a sequel to the Angry Cyclist video, offering a new visual perspective of humanity. Contrasting from the high intensity movement and environment, Rianne wanted to focus on the freedom of unplugging and looking up and outward. It includes a subtle continuity of established faces found in Angry Cyclist within the Streets of Edinburgh. Conceptually the video explores experiencing the space and rhythm laced around the seven hills that Edinburgh sits on. Working with each hill as a centre point, the video navigates neighbourhoods influenced by reflection and distinctive architecture. In short, it’s a love letter to Edinburgh.

“there is definitely no need to second guess Streets of Edinburgh, an emotional tribute to the Scottish capital, powerful in its simplicity.” THE SCOTSMAN
“Streets of Edinburgh is a paean to their home city as beautiful as Sunshine On Leith itself.” THE YORK PRESS
“Streets of Edinburgh, is a sentimental look at the city The Proclaimers call home. The living and the ghosts that inhabit the memories of the writers give meaning to the stones and concrete. “An air of sordid passion, a look of dirty grace. But not right in your face. It’s not that kind of place” might not be Visit Scotland’s preferred description of the country’s capital city, but the song is a firm candidate for the duo’s next anthemic tune.” LOUDER THAN WAR
“With lungs as full and as open as ever on ‘Streets of Edinburgh’, the Reid’s’ emotionally charged outlook is apparent as they locate themselves and their souls in a place and time.” GIGSLUTZ

I was a bus driver in Edinburgh from the 90s until 2023 this song really resonates with me,ive seen so many changes in Edinburgh not all for the better (Edinburgh council get a grip next to no toilets in the capital)and long story short i pick up one of the proclaimers on the number 10, always very polite happy to talk to folk on the bus about the amazing song catalogue they have especially during the festival so patient with people they are what i would call true gentleman artists. To all the tourists over the years ive so enjoyed taking you all over Edinburgh thanks for making my job a a pleasure.

My mum is from Edinburgh. I went over when I was 7 to stay with my grandparents for a few months. That was before it was "cool" to be Scottish (pre Braveheart) and mum had my first kilt made for me at 5 yrs old. My friends hadn't even heard of Scotland! I went back to visit relos, after my grandparents passed, when I was 17. I haven't been since the '90's. I grew up in NYC but my heart is in Edinburgh. I'm now a mum and I can't wait to show my daughter her roots! This song is everything.

This song made me cry as it totally sums up how I feel about her. Thank you xxx

Lovely comment Daniel, you make me want to go there now..

[@Tr1kx]

Funny you mentioned the Waverley station ramp... here's my take on it... I was a student travelling all over Europe for 3 months on an InterRail holiday. I'd had a superb time, then came up the ramp on a beautiful sunny morning and looked around at Princes Street Gardens, the castle, the old town, North Bridge... I appreciated just how lucky I was to live just 2 miles away from this, the most beautiful city in the world.

[@shanchat]

I'm from Edinburgh but live in Wales. The feeling when you arrive in that city is phenomenal. Although I fly up and the big RBS poster on the side of the airport car park gets me every time. It has a picture of the Castle and the simple words " This is home".

This is the power of real music with strong lyrics!

[@hwyisalive]

Sadly, The Proclaimers are, here in the United States, known for "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" because it was included in the film "Benny and June" and for "I'm on My Way" being used in "Shrek". The depth, beauty and quality of their complete discography is positively stunning. Even as a fan since "Sunshine on Leith" (somehow I initially missed the first album) I have probably underrated them. "The Streets of Edinburgh" is so shockingly gorgeous that it's almost difficult to process. In this song, they do something taught by Japanese monks from hundreds of years ago. The monks taught that we all wear three masks. The first mask we show the world easily. It's essentially fraud, but it's what we create and show to survive or because we think we must show that face in order to create or maintain the life we want. The second mask we show those close to us. To our parents, our children and close friends. It's closer to the real us, but still keeps some of us private from those people. The third mask is who we really are. In this song we are hearing them sing of Edinburgh while wearing their third mask. So not only is the song sublimely written, shimmeringly produced and positively spine tingling to listen to, but it is their absolute 100% complete total transparent unfiltered truth. I am almost incomprehensibly moved by this song and so much of their work. I think we cry when we hear this song and others by The Proclaimers not only because it is such a gorgeous song, but because it is also their "Beautiful Truth" In most of the world, and perhaps especially here in the United States, we so very, very seldom see or hear that from anyone. So the tears we cry when listening to "The Streets of Edinburgh" are tears of joy because they represent the hope that everyone in the world should, can and will, eventually, at long last, proclaim their real selves and their real truth to one another.

To add to what Danielsauntiejo has already said about this superb city, I am a very very English Englishman and very proud of our capital London as nothing beats coming over one of her many bridges at dawn with a mist hanging on the majestic river Thames whilst snaking its way through some of the most beautiful sights at that time of the day, But then there is Edinburgh with its amazing Gothic look and a real feel of magic whenever you go there which has never left me or felt any less than the very first time I went there to watch a Scotland v England Rugby match at Murryfield right back in the early eighties, that turned my opinion that Twickenham was the best ground to watch the best Rugby to be played, as that was the start of my love affair with the fabulous City of Edinburgh its super lovely people and one of the warmest welcomes you will get anywhere in the world.

I'm from the Highlands raised in Glasgow but love this song,Haunting

[@SarahJustinePackwood]

This is such a beautiful, emotional and heartfelt song, the lyrics are poignant and harmonies magnificent. True magic by The Proclaimers. I am not Scottish (actually a Sassenach) but I love Scotland, the people of Scotland and music from Scotland. I wish you all the very best for the next vote for Independence. You must do what is right for all who make Scotland their home. Sending peace and love.

[@carolmullen4218]

I have seen them live twice, absolutely fabulous. I had Make My Heart Fly as my wedding song 3 years ago. I am Glaswegian but do not want independence at all.

[@lahlberg1838]

What a lovely song and how happy I am for coming to Edinburgh over Hogmany this year. Coming back to Scotland is, and were, always what I want. This time I will come back home to with this new CD in my bag. Thank you Proclaimers.

[@johnledlie3897]

What a song! I have visited Edinburgh once and it has stayed in my memory for years, great city and great song sung by the best band to come out of Scotland... Thanks lads

Don't forget the witness and the rollers because of Eric faulkner music.

[@soniamadhukra]

I'm from Cork in the deep South of Ireland. Now I want to go to Edinburgh, I've never been! But in many ways the beauty of this song is that it speaks to love of home. There will never be any place like home. It's where all the people who meant most in your formative years, lived, loved, and died. Beautiful song.

[@andyh3827]

Inctedibly beautiful ballad! Can't get enough of it! Powerful lyrics and so intensely emotional! Fabulous!

[@stevemcwatt9900]

Says it all, outstanding and a great video. Guys you have made an auld man so proud to have been born in Edinburgh and as luck would have it the Eastern General.

[@dereckburgess5690]

Loved these two for years. Saw them live in Salisbury and loved it . This is a lovely song. Full of passion . Great stuff .

[@jbos5107]

So am I crazy because I want to hear this song everyday? It and Sunshine on Leith bring tears to my eyes every time I hear them.

[@rt09pachuau21]

This song always makes me so homesick and miss my grandparents back home. Im not from Edinburh but the lyrics is also so true for my own hometown..

[@legasiguy551]

I'm from the US and we know only the (500 miles) tune but I just found their others such as this one, which are even better! What a shame that were not privy to these other tunes!

[@witterquickly]

The Proclaimers are an absolute goldmine of excellent songs - check out "Act of Remembrance"

[@billybear7838]

ALWAYS TEARS IN MY EYES.. SUCH A WONDERFUL SONG.SO GOOD WOW.

[@reynerrobb4458]

AS WEEDGIE I STILL LOVE THIS SONG. JUST GOING TO BUY THE ALBUM XX.

[@johnhenderson8149]

Edinburgh deserves this piece of magic. And it can fit all of Scotland.

[@frankheggelund2501]

I,m Norwegian and I love The Proclaimers and the same Do my elder son. My dream is to go to Your beautiful town and experience a concert with You guys!

[@EErail26]

Absolutely my favourite city...I also visit as much as I can and have done since first coming up from Birmingham with my Dad in 1985. The railways, Fringe, with my wife, friends...a special place. Love the culture, history, Guildford Arms, the Oxford Bar, Rebus connections etc. Oh, and sorry lads, but Hibs loss is Aston Villa's gain...thanks for selling us John McGinn!

[@deirdremcintosh3266]

Ma hame and this wee video made me greet😭 If you've never been to Scotland, put it on your bucket list. You'll love it.
