The Story (Runrig album)
The Story is the fourteenth and final studio album by the Scottish rock band Runrig, released on 29 January 2016 on Ridge Records.

To promote the release of the album, a sizeable UK and Europe-wide tour was announced including a trademark Edinburgh Castle summer concert[2] along with headlining the 21st HebCelt Festival on the Isle of Lewis.[3]
