The 1996 hit starred Ewan McGregor – who studied at Fife College – and Robert Carlyle, plus Johnny Lee Miller, Kelly Macdonald and Ewen Bremner. It was hailed as one of the best movies of the 1990s as it told the story of a group of heroin addicts in an economically depressed area of Edinburgh and their passage through life.
It is followed by Trainspotting 2 which was directed by Danny Boyle and released in 2017 as it reunited the original gang who are now all middle aged and dealing with health and family issues.
