THE outfits set to be worn by Team Scotland at Opening Ceremony of the Commonwealth Games have been revealed.

Created using tartan woven by Lochcarron of Scotland in Selkirk, the outfits will be worn during the parade at the Birmingham games on July 28.

The outfits were designed by Scottish designer Siobhan Mackenzie.

The Borders' own para-athletics wheelchair racer Sammi Kinghorn MBE said: "The design is stunning.

“Opening ceremonies are special nights for athletes, and it feels like a lot of time and attention has gone into making sure we are looking the part going out for the parade.

“There are a lot of nice touches and detail across the design, and I can’t wait for that moment at the Opening Ceremony when we all go out together wearing the outfit."

Designer Siobhan Mackenzie said she felt honoured to be involved in the design of the team's outfits.

She added: "We consulted with the committee and athletes’ panel to make sure it was something they were going to be happy in, and we’ve been delighted with the reaction we’ve had from the athletes so far.

“I played around with the scale of the tartan, which is the main aesthetic feature of the final pieces, and the devil’s always in the detail, with little touchers across – buckles, buttons, linings and stitching colour.

“It’s a contemporary take on tradition and, importantly, is made in Scotland using traditional methods.

“It’s such an honour to be involved in the design of the outfits – I really can’t wait to see the athletes emerge into the stadium wearing them.”

Swimmer Ross Murdoch said: “I love the outfit!

“This is my third Commonwealth Games with Team Scotland and it’s always a proud moment to receive the kilt – it puts an extra spring in your step when you are representing the country wearing it.

“There’s been a real buzz around Team Camp today – everyone is excited to get down to Birmingham and compete in what is close to a home Games for us.”

Since the first Commonwealth Games in Hamilton in 1930, Team Scotland has won 453 medals, including 119 Golds at the games.

Athletes will compete in 19 sports across the competition.

The Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022 will be broadcast on the BBC and will also be available on the BBC iPlayer.
