Commemorative plaques installed to mark the second anniversary of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games were unveiled at Glasgow Life venues across the city on Tuesday.
The plaques were designed to pay tribute to the 53 medals won by Team Scotland throughout the games.
Kelvingrove Lawn Bowls and Tennis Centre, Tollcross International Swimming Centre, the Emirates Arena and Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome will be all be home to the plaques, which include the athlete's name, sport, date and kind of medal.

Team Scotland member and double gold medal winner for Lawn Bowls at the games, Alex Marshall, went back to the place he bagged his wins to unveil the plaque.
He said: “Winning a gold medal is obviously a huge personal achievement, but winning it in your home country makes it twice as special.
“I’m really chuffed Glasgow Life has commemorated the Team Scotland wins with these plaques – and hopefully they will encourage others in the city to take up sport.”
Councillor Archie Graham OBE, Depute Leader of Glasgow City Council and Chair of Glasgow Life, said: “Team Scotland shone at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, setting a new record for the number of medals won by the team since the Games began.

“The fact that a large number of these medals were won in Glasgow Life venues is something of which we are hugely proud, and wanted to suitably commemorate.
“These plaques will not only celebrate the achievements of the medallists – they will also act as inspirational reminders of the highs of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, particularly for the next generation of athletes who participate in Glasgow Sport’s performance and pathways programmes.”
