The Queen's Baton Relay has travelled around Scotland ahead of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

The baton, carrying a message from the Queen, spent five days north of the border.

It made stops in Inverness, Arran, New Cumnock, Glasgow, Bo'ness, Edinburgh, the Borders and Dumfries.

The baton will then be carried around Northern Ireland, Wales and England, finishing at the Birmingham 2022 opening ceremony on 28 July.
