Scotland at the Commonwealth Games

Scotland is one of only six countries to have competed in every Commonwealth Games since the first Empire Games in 1930. The others are Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand and Wales. The Commonwealth Games is the only major multi-sport event in which Scottish athletes and teams compete as Scotland; otherwise Scotland participates in multi-sport events as part of a Great Britain team.

The country has hosted the Commonwealth Games three times, Edinburgh in 1970 and 1986, and Glasgow in 2014. Glasgow is set to host the XXIII Commonwealth Games in 2026. The inaugural Commonwealth Youth Games were held in Edinburgh in 2000.
