RUNRIG have announced their final concert date, bringing to a close their incredible 45 year career.
If you've ever been to a party in Scotland - a party with enough folk at it anyway - you've danced to Loch Lomond. If you've been to a GOOD party with enough folk at it, you've been slightly injured while dancing to it too.
So it makes complete sense that Loch Lomond tops our list of Runrig's most popular tracks of all time.
Read more about Runrig's final performance.
1. Loch Lomond
Loch Lomond was released in 1983 and spent a total of five weeks in the charts. Despite the song reaching almost mythic status in Scotland, the song never reached the number one position, instead getting as high as number 9.
2. An Ubhal As Airde (The Highest Apple)
An Ubhal As Airde blasted in to the tracks and stayed there for 5 weeks in 1995. The track reached as high as number 18.
3. Rhythm Of My Heart
Rhythm Of My Heart spent two weeks in the chart, reaching number 24. It was released in 1996 and is still a great song.
4. Hearthammer
This track was released in 1991. It spent four weeks in the charts, and was at one point the 25th most popular song.
5. Wonderful
Wonderful dropped into the charts in 1993, jumping up to 29. It was in the charts for three weeks.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
