The Games for Scotland programme features a range of music, dance and sporting events, from Bollywood dancing in the Borders, to a mini Commonwealth Games on Shetland. The event programme will provide people from all over Scotland with the opportunity to unite and take pride in Scotland’s role as host of the 20th Commonwealth Games.
All 32 of Scotland’s local authorities will be involved with many events coinciding with the Delhi Handover Ceremony taking place on October 14.
