The Proclaimers are to play several Scottish dates as part of their UK tour later this year.

The brothers, Craig and Charlie Reid, will release their 10th studio album Let's Hear It For The Dogs on April 27 before performing seven dates across Scotland.

The pair said: "We are looking forward immensely to the shows. It feels like we've been away for a long time so it will be great to back on stage in Scotland."

They will play Motherwell Concert Hall on Thursday, November 26; Glenrothes Hall on Friday, November 27; Aberdeen AECC on Saturday, November 28; Glasgow Concert Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 1 and 2; and Edinburgh Playhouse on Friday and Saturday, December 4 and 5.
