Ewan McGregor rejoins school pipe band in drum roll for TV adventure
Ewan McGregor joined his former school's pipe band for a special performance at his Scottish mansion.
The Hollywood star, 54, had played side drum while a pupil at Morrison's Academy in his hometown of Crieff, Perthshire.
The school's pipe band were invited to his £2 million home in Carse of Gowrie to serenade McGregor and friend Charley Boorman as they set off on their latest motorcycle adventure.
The performance is featured in the opening episode of the Apple TV+ series Long Way Home which sees the pair travel from McGregor's home in Scotland to Boorman's in the south of England — via Scandinavia.
