A first official trailer has been released for the film, featuring BAFTA winner Peter Mullan as Tom Morris, and Jack Lowden as Tommy Morris.

Set against the early days of the sport and stunning landscape of Scotland, Tommy’s Honour explores the relationship between father and son, their accomplishments and also their drama and personal tragedy.

The film is scheduled to be released on April 14.
