An unforgettable evening north of the border is very much in order, as the Last Night of the Proms is celebrated in true Scottish style. As well as the Glasgow-based BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under the energetic leadership of Robert Ziegler, an international line-up of stars of the music world will present a rip-roaring and aptly uplifting programme, ending the Proms season in fine style.
And, for the first time, music lovers in the Highlands will be able to experience the magic of the BBC’s Proms In The Park with a unique - and free - big screen celebration of the key musical event in the glorious surroundings of Cawdor Castle, Nairn.
Making up part of the Highland 2007 celebrations, the BBC Proms In The Park concert will be beamed live from Glasgow to the stately grounds of Cawdor Castle in front of an audience of 600 music lovers.
Tickets for the Cawdor Castle screening have now sold out.
Proms in the Park, Glasgow is now fully booked, however, there will be a limited number of tickets available from the on-site box office from 6pm on the night .
