Sunshine on Leith is The Proclaimers second and most well known album, released in August 1988. The album had three singles, including the title track, "I'm On My Way," and "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)," which also became a hit following its inclusion on the soundtrack to Benny & Joon five years later in 1993. It is about their birthplace, Leith, and the song is often played by Hibernian F.C. at the beginning of matches.
