Tour Scotland video recommendation of Going Home, from the Scottish Film, Local Hero, performed by Mark Knopfler. Local Hero is a 1983 Scottish film starring Peter Riegert, Denis Lawson, Peter Capaldi and Burt Lancaster. It was directed by Bill Forsyth and produced by David Puttnam. A representative of an American oil company is sent to the fictional village of Ferness on the west coast of Scotland on a mission.The film's soundtrack, which outsold the film itself, was written by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits, and is considered amongst his best work. This has led to the popularity of the film with fans of the band; Knopfler has since performed an arrangement of the main theme music, Going Home, as an encore at many of his concerts.
