Radio 2’s Movie Music - Scotland

In advance of Radio 2 In The Park visiting Stirling in September 2026, Radio 2 celebrates the cinematic sonic legacy of Scotland.

Edith Bowman celebrates the influence of Scotland’s music and movie heritage on cinema - from a fast-running Renton in Trainspotting to an oddly Scottish sounding 2,000-year-old Egyptian in Highlander, from Annie Lennox’s siren singing in Lord Of The Rings to the anthem instrumentalism of Local Hero.
