Runrig - Hearts Of Olden Glory (Live Stirling Castle 1997)

From Donnie Munro's farewell concert

[janetgillies]

Remember picking our twins up from dances in Broadford with 4 others in the back of the car singing Runrig songs the whole way home. Believe it or not, I loved these 2am drives. So many happy memories of these kids (and me) singing with windows wide open and Runrig blaring up Druim Na Cleoch with nobody to disturb for miles. Happy Days

Whats happened to the world - we need more Runrig in the world more than ever. RR

[andersonomo]

Runrig deserved far wider international renown. Awesome band!!

[andrewcoutts]

Played this at my mums funeral, we are Scots and thank you mum for bringing us up knowing what it means

[christophersmith]

I am English but this group is simply brilliant and this song is fantastic sung with feeling. Fabulous: shame they are no longer but at least I can listen to them whenever I want which is often

[andreassteinfatt]

Donnie - the voice of Scotland. Bruce - Scotlands voice to the world. I love them both - different times, different voices. But one thing will never change - Scotland in my heart

[thomasmcbride]

Donnie is Runrig. He can’t be replaced x

[ernhill]

No disrespect but definitely first generation Runrig fan no one sings like Donnie especially this one, emotive for me & family

[davidronald]

Was there, can't listen to Donnie singing it without tears.Absolutely brilliant.Donnie got the most stirring voice, I've ever heard.❤👍

[nonafirmin]

[alanhealy]

Thought it was only me, happy to see this song has the same effect on others, eyes swell up so easy listening to this.

Played song at my darling Margaret's funeral, 2017 miss her so much love ctuart

[NoviceoftheBayne]

This is probably my favourite single bit of footage of Runrig across their history. The guitar solo is the best of all the versions and the sense of finality in Donnie's vocals bring the lyrics home.
It marked the end of Runrig as I knew it but listening back to Mara and Amazing Things it's hard to know for sure if they could have continued to be fresh and original for these extra years. Songs like Road Trip, Travellers, Wall of China, Leaving Strathconan and Big Songs of Hope and Cheer are diverse songs written for Bruce's voice and I now feel that I have two options when I want to listen: classic Runrig and modern Runrig. To me that is a rare blessing.
