Ewan McGregor reunites with Crieff pipe band at £2m Glencarse home in Apple TV series
McGregor is joined by the Morrison's Academy Pipe Band at his £2 million Glencarse mansion in Long Way Home.
The show sees the actor join Charley Boorman as they embark on a motorcycle journey to England, via Scandinavia.
The duo have reunited to celebrate 20 years of the first series, Long Way Round.
Before they leave his Glencarse home for Newcastle, Ewan informs the crew that the pipe band will perform for them.
He said: 'I used to be a side drummer in this band.
'My dad, before me, and my uncle. I come from a long line of drummers.'
Joined by his dad James as the band arrive, Ewan is taking aback by how many pupils appeared at his house.
He said: 'Massive band, isn't it? It was, like, nine of us in the band I was in.
'Wait until they crack off, it gets the hairs on the back of your neck.'
The band then play a rendition of The Green Hills of Tyrol, with McGregor joining them on the drums.
Ewan's mum, Carol, calls the performance 'far too emotional'.
After an emotional goodbye with his wife, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and son Laurie, Ewan and Charley begin their journey.
They were led by the private school's band.
In December, the 54-year-old's application to refurbish the windows of the B-listed gate lodge and install new double-glazing units was approved by the council.
The show is available to watch on Apple TV+.

Conor McGregor responds to fire at pub with 'rocket-launcher' claim
Conor McGregor's Forge pub was ablaze on Friday morning but the UFC star - who is on holiday on his yacht - has taken to social media to reassure patrons Conor McGregor insists a rocket-launcher wouldn't stop his pub opening after a fire broke out at the Dublin venue. The Forge pub was surrounded by black smoke as flames licked the venue on Friday morning as the emergency services raced to the boozer. But McGregor, who is holidaying with his family, took to social media to play down the incident. "The pub is open for business today, folks," he said. "You wouldn't get through with a rocket-launcher. There's not a bother on her, she's spotless. Up The Forge." McGregor went on to demand a can of his Irish stout from his fiancee Dee Devlin before cracking it open on his boat and raising a toast. "The breakfast of champions, ladies and gentlemen," he added, before deleting his post. McGregor's pub, which was targeted with petrol bombs in 2022, is a popular spot for celebrities with rapper 50 Cent among recent visitors. McGregor himself often attends the pub and poses for photos with fans. But the Irishman has been engulfed in controversy recently after being pictures kissing a mystery woman in Florida. Photos were also published of the pair having dinner before McGregor was reunited with his fiancee as they sailed in Sardinia. Former two-weight world champion McGregor has not fought since he broke his leg in the first round of his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in 2021. His only win since 2016 came five years ago when he obliterated Donald Cerrone inside 40 seconds. The Dubliner was due to return to the cage last summer when he was scheduled to fight Michael Chandler but McGregor pulled out two weeks before the fight with a broken toe and the bout was never rescheduled. It could finally take place next summer as part of US President Donald Trump's ambitious plan to host a UFC event in the grounds of The White House. McGregor claims he has returned to the UFC's drug-testing pool and plans to fight again. "They're testing me. I'm in the pool. I thought that's what the pools were for, jumping in and out, but I'm back in the pool," he told The Schmo. "So get ready and stay ready because damage will be done. Oval office. White House card."

It is not clear when the videos - which shows smoke rising from the pub - were taken. Witnesses claim the fire occurred overnight. Pictures taken today have revealed the clean up from the fire, with men spotted repairing the exterior of the building. The former UFC World Champion's bar was previously targeted in 2022. Yobs armed with petrol bombs attacked the venue just hours after the fighter had been there. He purchased the Irish pub for roughly £2million in 2019. The Sun has approached Dublin Fire Brigade and Garda for comment. It comes as the star was embroiled in a cheating scandal earlier this month, after being spotted cosying up to a number of women. The Sun revealed how McGregor had been seen with a mystery blonde in a Dublin nightclub - just days before he was spotted kissing another woman in Florida. The former UFC champion was pictured smiling with his hands around a blonde woman's waist. A shocked fan snapped the pair on July 6 at Soho nightclub in the Irish capital. The witness told The Sun: 'He was very touchy feely with her, and now after seeing what's coming out, this seems a bit too much for an engaged man. Conor McGregor gets a belly rub from Dee Devlin as they enjoy an Al-fresco meal in Sardinia, Italy 'I asked Conor if I could get a picture that night and he was pretty drunk and agreed. 'He said 'Here, get a picture', then pulled the girl he was with close to him. 'I then took the picture and said I meant me with him and he then told me to 'get out of here'.' Days later, McGregor was spotted kissing a bikini-clad mystery woman on a beach. They were seen packing on the PDA in full sight of other beachgoers. He then laid down a towel for the woman and wrapped an arm around her shoulders in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The athlete has been engaged to Dee Devlin since 2020 and they share four children together. McGregor's long-time fiancee appeared to brush it off as she took to social media to wish him a happy birthday. She shared a post on her Instagram story from a fan account which read: "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile." Putting on a united front, she also posted a series of photos of herself and the fighter beaming together. She seems to be staying loyal to her partner, even after he packed on the PDA with another woman. The latest scandal comes as leaked nudes McGregor sent to Azealia Banks were then posted online by the rapper. She alleges the fighter sent her the photos on X unprompted - despite her not following him back. The rapper claims the messages were sexual harassment, but also said that she sent the boxer nude pictures as well in a sexting-back and-forth since 2016. 5 Putting on a united front, Dee posted a series of photos with her and McGregor Credit: Instagram More to follow...
