And, to make it a right party they were accompanied by dancers from Dance House Glasgow, as the nation’s popular air terminal marked its 50th anniversary.

As part of the Best of Scotland celebrations, the RSNO and Director Eliott Murray performed a selection of hits from the 60s – the decade the airport was opened – from popular tunes of the time to well-known themes from film and television. The orchestra also performed ‘Happy Birthday’, where passengers were invited to join in. Staff were also be on hand to select the best voice during each of the performances, with the winners receiving a £50 gift voucher to spend at the airport.
