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 2000 year old Egyptian in Highlander, from Annie Lennox’s siren singing in Lord Of The Rings to the anthem instrumentalism of Local Hero.

Produced by BBC Scotland for BBC Radio 2.
