Thank you so much for this - just perfect. Brings it all back and thank you for keeping recording right up to the end - that was just an amazing moment and one I won't forget.
Hi MJB, amazing to see you as 1st comment on this. What a finale. Hope you and family are all excellent :-)
Hey Adam, I've been pinned! It was an excellent evening. A great way to call it a day. Best wishes to you and yours. M-J

RIP Bruce…started as a sydney mines small town hero and left us as an absolute legend
RIP Bruce Guthro; you were the best!
Bruce and I went through high school together. It was amazing watching him develop into this star so proud from Cape Breton Island
rest easy Bruce we love you
So sad that Bruce died so young.
I have been a Riggie for years from the USA. I went to this concert in Stirling. Just had to be part of it. Loved it all. Goosebumps and tears. What a great time and the memories are forever. Thank you Runrig for all the years.
I couldn't face the journey 1000km north, the cost of the weekend wpuld have been about 1000 pounds, but more than that I couldn't face crying tbrough either of the concerts.
Law! I am 76 in the USA and just found Runrig this year. Oh how I regret my life past that I didn’t know Runrig. My absolute favorite group. EVER! 👏❤️
I’m crushed I found them too late!!!
I know exactly what you mean Lorri 🇬🇧👍🏻🇬🇧👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴
I was at this concert , my 57th runrig , 35 years of concerts , best time of my life ❤
I too have just discovered them and i just spent two years recently in nova scotia. !!
At the end of their journey this night, the Boys from the Isles strode from a Stirling stage straight into the Land of Scottish Legend… for a short while we walked alongside them! Our magnificent privilege… our eternal memory!
THERE WILL NEVER BE A BAND IN SCOTLAND LIKE RUNRIG
There is a close contender though ...... Tidelines. Only been going 2/3 years but already have an established fan base. You should check them out.
Never say never...
There has never been a band like Runrig that drew such amazing responses, like as has been shown towards this band. How hard it must have been to say goodbye to this crowd. I see the guy that drew me to Runrig in the first place in 78 was feeling it hard to do so. Malcolm, I love him. I hate that we won,t have this band again. Such a heartwrenching time. As Malcolm showed. We too feel like him. Remember the days when they played in small halls across Scotland. The days before they branched out to outdoor shows. Where the floor even bounced, it felt like . When the crowds in the halls jumped as one, in time to those songs. Runrig were special .
Except maybe for Simple Minds. But that's another genre
Thank you for returning Bruce in good condition!
Wenn man die Band mehrmals schon gesehen hatte, schon vor 30 Jahren in Freiburg z.B., dann wird sie immer im Herzen sein. Eine schottische Institution, die kaum ein anderer, den Nationalstolz des Volkes so unterstützte und dafür stand. Ich habe erst heute Abend gelesen, dass Bruce Guthro tot sein soll, das ist sehr, sehr traurig. Vor 3 Jahren durfte ich sie nochmal in Freiburg erleben und obwohl es meist deutsche Zuschauer waren, konnten die viele Texte der songs mitsingen, das war einfach herrlich!
Listening to Hearts of Olden Glory and crying like a baby.... - Thank you Runrig for the years of great music!
Same 🥲 I’m moving back to Scotland and I’ve been listening to it and sobbing haha
This was my first ever shift working as security was an amazing first shift! did the 2 days they were on wont forget
Thank ypu
Thank you so much, Andy S for this lovely video. I live in Aalborg , Denmark, and i have been to Runrigs concerts in SKOVDALEN whenever they had concerts there, since 1999. - EXEPT THE LAST CONCERT in 2017.. Luckely the "wind was in the right direction", so I sat at my balcony, listening to the sound of Runrig, and the audiences voices. And I was sad... For my birthday in october, my two sons had bought 2 tickets for me, to take my best friend - and a REAL RUNRIG fan - to the LAST CONCERT IN DENMARK in BOXEN in Herning. I have never had a present, that ment so much to me, and the fact, that my boys had bought 2 tickets so I could give Preben that "farewell to Runrig" that ment so much to him, is something, we can never give enough thanks. So thank you, for sharing the final moments from Sterling
So sad that Bruce has now left us😥 ❤
One of the most talented band ever. Had the privilege of seeing them live. Fantastic night.
Thank you. Bruce was so on form Saturday night. I am so going to miss them. Poor Malcolm, watching him made me cry again, and I think Bruce nearly lost it singing Hearts Of Olden Glory.
From the time a co-worker told me about the band over 25 years ago I have faithfully listened, watched, and learned. Runrig is more than it seems and cannot be contained to a poetic sediment. It's an emotion. A feeling. I have never been to Scotland, but the boys made me believe I was part of the clan. I will miss them dearly. Always in my heart. Thank you for the journey. Be with your families and return the energy we gave you ten fold to them as they embrace your return to the hearth. Rest without worry and smile.
I live in the Republic of Ireland. Thanks for posting this wonderful Runrig Concert . My favourite favourite music. Runrig will live forever in our memories.
Gu brath!
Every time I see Malcom cry like this I wish I could jump on stage and hug him...
Thank yoo Runrig. for all those years!
Incredible band, I've loved them for more than 25 yrs. Amazing send off.
The most wonderful night. I admit I cried like a baby, tears of sadness and joy. Thank you Runrig from the first moment, in an HMV in Brighton, when it was love at first sound some 30+ years ago, to the last in the drizzle in Stirling. Simply the best.
THANK YOU ANDY FOR THIS AUDIOVISUAL DOCUMENT OF HUGE VALUE AND HUMANITY
MALCOLM JONES, great!
Encore:
1. Pride of the summer
2. An Toll Dubh
3. Loch Lomond
4. The Drum section
5. Speeches
6. Hearts of olden glory
I love music. But I love Runrig more than music. I was lucky enough to get a ticket to the Friday concert.
Travelled up alone from the Midlands for the evening, but had to leave early to get back. Missed my sons stag do. Says it all. I have followed this band for over 30 years. You will always be in my heart. Happy retirement boys. Thank you, with all my heart, for the music. Malcolm is one of the best guitarists in the world, and Bruce did a fine job after Donny. Wish I could turn back the years! So many of their songs invoke a hidden meaning or a remember just for me. "There's no way without you". God Bless. Runrig fans are the best.
I can't even.... Malcolm crying starts me off every time. I have the DVD, but I just can't bring myself to watch it all in one go, even now, nearly six years later...
I’m so late to the party. I’ve only happened upon this band recently and I have so much to catch up on but even I’m crying at the end of this. I can’t imagine what they were feeling being backstage at the end and hearing the crowd still singing.
My husband has always been a massive runrig fan and says despite going to numerous concerts nothing beats the atmosphere of a runrig concert at either loch Lomond or Glasgow barrowlands and it was ironic that for the Loch Lomond concert the DJ Tom ferries got to introduce the band as he had been playing their music for years and introducing then to a new audience great shows and great memories
Bruce has now gone😥 God bless!
There must be a place under the sun
where hearts of olden glory grow young
I am devastated yet so grateful for their music that has supported me through the difficulties in life and helped me to celebrate the triumphs. I have never felt actual grief in relation to a band until now. Thank Runrig - for everything. X
We are saddened that they are no longer performing, but we were so freaking lucky to have had them for 45 years? Yes, Thank you Runrig for Everything.
Thanks for posting this Andy, I currently reside in the States and had the unique opportunity when I was much younger (17), to travel and work in Scotland as part of an exchange through National Federation of Young Farmers. While in Scotland I was very fortunate to discover Runrig via songs on the radio, and I believe at the time "Searchlight" had just been released the prior year and I was hooked. I can't claim to be their biggest fan, but I'm a huge fan none the less and have a majority of all their albums and have listened to them for over 28 years. I too will miss them dearly as they have felt like a good friend to me, for I have listened to them through laughter and tears. I had always wanted to attend a Runrig concert but was never able to attend one, I had tried in 2005 but the concert in New York was canceled. Anyway thank you again Andy for this video, thank you Runrig for making some of the best music I have ever heard and please know there is one crazy "Yank" that will be listening until I can no longer listen.
Thank you Dabe for your lovely thoughts about Runrig, they really were a wonderful band. Even i did not see them as i have been here in Australia since 1964 , but i sure love their music . Duncan .Pitkeathly.
As a young Scottish Canadian I have recently fallen in love with this band. Such a shame Bruce is gone. RIP❤
Good luck to the lads of Runrig for their futures - and thank you for having left us with so much great music
❤️❤️❤️my Hearts from Austria 🎸🎸🎸😭
THAT is the way to bow out!
It was freaking awesome watching Malcolm's reaction while they were singing hearts of Olden Glory and taking their final bow.
Getting married to hearts of olden glory on the 28th august runrig will never be beaten your music is top notch COME BACK!!
Glad to see Runrig finale! The fan's sounded brilliant! Sad to lose Bruce but the music lives on!
we were there on the Saturday, our forth concert, our first was Loch Lomond 1991 mid summer night
We couldn't go to the concert for two days. in fact we were in Stirling three days before ... Thank you very much for bristling my skin ... I felt as if I had been there, great .. I love Runrig ... it is the best emblem of the wonderful lands of Scotland .. Thank you for the publication from Spain by heart ...
Cry everytime I see this concert ❤🏴
Malcom jones is a God as is the rest of the Band 🎵
Unfortunately i couldn´t be there, but i´m very happy about being a part of the amazing audience of the last german concert in cologne. i love you guys and i will always remember you and your music. runrig lives on i our hearts and minds forever!! ♥♥♥
Wonderful sound loved this concert on SKY ARTS last night such a magical enchanted singing no one like them !
Thank you for the music and the songs,we wil miss you.
Best concert of my life nothing can beat it
How do you perform at what you know is to be your last concert? 31 people need serious counselling. It was the best night.
God bless you boys for never selling out, for being real musicians, and for giving insurmountable joy to legions of untold fans all over the globe. I was there and will forever remember the joy you brought to me personally over many, many years. I've clapped, sung, jigged and swayed along with you in all the right places. Even my daughters know "Loch Lomond" off by heart. I miss you.
And i soon, too will retire. But I will take your music with me always.Long life, happy retirement, and THANK YOU for it all.
I've seen these guys many times; and despite being English, love them since 1986.
They have been and always will be awesome!!
Thanks for posting this - have enjoyed watching it here in Nova Scotia. I had several cousins in the audience - lucky sods!
Thank you.Scotland and Runrig forever in my heart.💙💙💙Runrig the Best.🌷🌷🌷💙💙💙🌷🌷🌷
Dannsa a nochd le runrig, uabhasach mhath a rithist.
Thank you so much, I have been looking for this all day
You must have been just in front of us, it was a fantastic bitter sweet night, I cried like a baby at the end (and at many points during the evening). Can't believe its all over, will never stop listening to them!
And we were just behind YOU xx
I found this band by accident whilst browsing in a charity shop in the late 90s and came across this cassette tape , it was the name "run rig " that caught my attention. I played it over many times and fell in love with the rawness and the musicality of their songs you could feel the performance. Life went by and I had stuff to deal with and it was now in the early 2000 s that I regained my interest and found out a few more of their album /tapes. I then when to see them live at Wolverhampton . Best band "live" period !! Malcolm's guitar playing , Iain's drums , the best! I bought tickets for their farewell performance @ Manchester but sadly could not make it due to illness , perhaps just as well as it would have been a little sad I think . Thanks for the music boys!
David Rennicks me too david,found them by chance in the 90s hooked from then on ,collected every album.went to see them in wolves,thier 30th cried like a baby,somehow i find thier music very emotional.
Saw the last concert on English soil in Manchester had tickets for Stirling but could not make it amazing music amazing band amazing journey amazing fan's runrig will never die
still gives me goose bumps!
A great big hug would be in place for sharing this. But many many thanks will have to do here.
This is amazingly brilliant
It was just a wonderful band and I cant stop thinking of the great time with you!😢🎆
Thank you so much for sharing this memory. I really appreciate it as, like every riggie out there, I will miss them very much.
Thanks guys always brilliant makes you prod to be Scottish
As a life long Runrig fan whose seen them in concert many times over the last three decades but couldn't make any of their final tour as I'm now unfortunately registered disabled and pretty much housebound - thank you for this. I'll be getting the official DVD when it's out but this is a wonderful put me on!
Thank you so much for sharing this footage I was sat with tears at the end :( I still can not believe that is it !! I will never ever stop listening to their music and I am sure all of the true fans will be the same :) Teddy ps your footage was so clear I just want the official DVD now :) will keep watching this till then :D
Much happiness, Much sadness.
Great video. Very clear. Nice to see from the center.
Thank you for recording this.wonderful!
Thank you! Thou I can't stop watching and crying, again and again ...
Thank you VERY VERY much for this impressions...!!

saw them for the first time at Fife Aid in the 80's, saw them play in a wee village hall in London ( Royal Albert Hall ) and was @ Stirling last Year !
We are saddened that they are no longer performing, but we were so freaking lucky to have had them for 45 years? Thank you Runrig for Everything.

Very true; like any band that stops playing, but I'm so glad that you like me have experienced them!
Imagine in 30 years time seeing these and wishing?
AMAZING - thank you!!!
It must have been beautiful but heartwrending to sing along to this, knowing it'd be the last time you'd do it live.
Trailer
@@uffehansen4259 meaning what?🤔
Beautiful !!!!
Sadly, my time in Scotland in 2018 didn't line up with their last show. Thank you for uploading this.
Emotional video... I wish I recorded it myself now on the Friday and I'm glad you shared yours with everyone.
Thanks for posting, I was hoping someone would still keep recording when they left the stage.
Love it and the spirit lives on~
Omg This is amazing, my cousin Nathan got goose bumps from this
thank you so much
Just awesome
Hello Andy S, my name is also Andy S and at first I was a little confused because I have not made the things all this nice people thanks you for. But then I recgognized. I wasn`t this guy. I am 63 years old, former German but now living in Thailand with my dear wife and my lovely 3 dogs. I really hope you are in a good health and all your lovelys too. I am so soory that Runrig stopt their careere. But they always will be in our hearts.
I love Runrig, which is beautifully combined with my passion for Scotland. It's quite sad they broke up and I never got to see them live. I'm 15 and started listening to their music through my parents during the summer holidays in Scotland in 2019. One year after their breakup...
At least you know what wonderful music they were capable of.
As a Sassenach writing this in 2021, and having seen them 3 times live, I miss them sooooo much.
Be thankful you know of what your beautiful country can produce 😎
I clicked "like" but surreal would the better choose. Why its over when all of them are alive? But .. they will know what they are doing. Thanks for all.
In tears
Amazing Band 🎶🏴🎸🎶
I’m crushed I found them too late. If ever a reunion happens SOMEONE HAS TO TELL ME!!!!!!
Unfortunately they are getting on a bit so seems very unlikely .
@@michaelkennedy8573 if Ronnie Wood can do it, anyone can lol
@@leslieshand4509 unfortunately I don’t know if you’re aware but Bruce Guthro passed away very recently
@@michaelkennedy8573 WHAT? Oh, that is tragic news. He will so be missed not only by family and friends, but also by Nova Scotia and Canada.
Thank you for letting me know
Yes TY Andy S
It was an AMAZING night
I was there....awesome night
bruh the subtitles are so hilarious
Wish they will come back
As the fireworks highlighted the castle and the singing still continued long into the night... were we perhaps hearing the new National Anthem of Scotland?
i was there what a great night. also the first one to get to the stage racing all the adults
I could not bring myself to go and see them again after donnie munro left the band was just not the same without donnie he was the backbone of runrig his voice was second to none
Mar sin leibhsa fhein mo chairdean uaisle gu direadh ar La.
