\nBack in January with 200 days to go until the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, Commonwealth Games Scotland (CGS) released a new set of athlete images depicting \u2018ones to watch’. Such has been their popularity that CGS has made them available as posters to download free of charge so you can get to know some of the faces of Team Scotland who will be representing us in Glasgow this summer. <\/p>\n

Download the posters now at www.goscotland.org\/download-posters-2<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The 11 photos have been taken at iconic locations around Scotland, with some of Team Scotland\u2019s prospective team members and medal hopefuls.<\/p>\n

The strong common theme of the photos is \u2018Proud\u2019 and is a clear demonstration of what it means for athletes from across the length and breadth of the country to represent Team Scotland in Glasgow next summer.<\/p>\n

The fabulous and striking images have been created by Glasgow photographers Alistair Devine and Stuart Gray and build on the set of images shot at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and launched in April 2013 to mark the start of the athlete selection period (access those posters here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Calling for the Scottish public to get behind the team, as they start the final leg of their journey to the Games, 400m hurdler Eilidh Child said: \u201cThese amazing photos show just how much it means to all of the athletes to represent Team Scotland at the Commonwealth Games this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a real privilege to have been chosen as one of the athletes to take part in the project. I hope they inspire everyone to cheer us on all the way and I for one am determined to do Scotland proud next summer at Hampden Park.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Eilean Donan Castle at Kyle of Lochalsh to the beaches of Carnoustie and Edinburgh Castle and Forth Rail Bridge the images depict the magic that Scotland has to offer as a place to live, work, visit and of course host major sporting events. The Falkirk Wheel and the Wallace Monument are also featured, with aim to make the whole of Scotland feel part of the Games.<\/p>\n

Glasgow based images showcase a number of the Games competition venues in Kelvingrove, Hampden Park and the stunning new SSE Hydro, whilst the cranes of the BAE Systems shipyard at Govan on the Clyde remind us of our strong industrial heritage and technological innovation.<\/p>\n

The images will be used throughout Team Scotland\u2019s back the team campaign \u2013 \u2018Go Scotland!\u2019 <\/p>\n
