Proclaimers cameo?

Am I right in thinking that I spotted the Proclaimers making a cameo appearance in the film?
It occurs near the start when Davy and Ally have just arrived back in Edinburgh and are making their way along the street dancing to "I'm on my way". At one point they are walking past a bar and two guys walk out and look at them with a wry grin. Those two guys look very much like the Proclaimers (although I haven't seen any photos of them recently to know how they look nowadays compared to when they were at the height of their popularity).
Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks for confirming guys!
I had hoped to see their names in the credits to confirm my suspicions, but didn't spot them.

It was indeed the unmistakable Craig & Charlie Reid of The Proclaimers!!!

FWIW, Dexter Fletcher also makes a cameo appearance.
He plays the drunk staggering out of the pub at the end of "Over and Done With"...

You're correct, it was The Proclaimers. That scene was filmed in Constitution Street in Leith, Edinburgh. I can personally recommend the full Scottish Breakfast in The Constitution pub, it's a fantastic hangover cure.
