sunshine on leith - This is Edinburgh

SUNSHINE ON LEITH
SUNSHINE ON LEITH IS A JUBILANT, HEARTFELT MUSICAL
ABOUT THE POWER OF HOME, THE HEARTH, FAMILY AND
LOVE. IT IS THE TALE OF ONE TIGHT-KNIT FAMILY, AND
THE THREE COUPLES BOUND TO IT, AS THEY EXPERIENCE
THE JOYS AND HEARTACHE THAT PUNCTUATE ALL
RELATIONSHIPS. AND THEY DO IT ALL WHILE SINGING TO THE
EUPHORIC MUSIC OF THE PROCLAIMERS.

Ally and Davy are two soldiers, returning home to Edinburgh from
Afghanistan. On the way home, they head to the pub to forget their
troubles, and Ally tells Davy his plans to propose to his girlfriend Liz who is also Davy’s sister. Not to be left out in the romance stakes, at a
party, Liz introduces Davy to one of her work colleagues, Yvonne and
the two of them fall for each other. The cosy foursome are enjoying life
in Edinburgh, until ambition and opportunity fall at Liz’s feet - will she
pursue her dream, or be content as an army wife? Meanwhile, Rab
- Liz and Davy’s father finds his marriage to Jean tested by ill-health
and the discovery of a secret from the past.

Edinburgh and Leith look stunning in this new feel-good movie - from
the dramatic city skyline and historic Old Town to the cobbled streets
and cosy, village atmosphere of Leith. This movie map has been
designed to show the locations used in the film, as well as to provide
inspiration to explore all that Edinburgh and Leith have to offer.
