A look back at three decades since Scotland's most distinctive musical twins crashed onto the scene.

From the Film Archives: Hey....do you guys remember the Scottish twin duo The Proclaimers? They had a HUGE hit in 1988/89 with "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)." They had a real unique sound that was a blend of American folk, pop and punk rock, along with traditional Scottish folk music and harmonies. I did a photo session with those guys, Craig and Charlie Reid, for Chrysalis Records at Saint Andrews Hall on March 9, 1989. They were a lot of fun to work with.

"While I'm worth my room on this Earth, I will be with you. And while the Chief puts sunshine on Leith I'll thank Him for His work And you're birth, and my birth."

Charlie & Craig Reid [March 5, 1962] The Proclaimers are a Scottish band composed of identical twin brothers Charlie & Craig Reid.

Twins Craig and Charlie Reid have been uniting us since 1987 with their music but admit they only have a few years touring left.
