:00:13. > :00:23.The bowlers Alex Marshall and Paul Foster beat Malaysia to win
:00:24. > :00:29.Scotland's 12th gold medal, our best ever tally.
:00:30. > :00:31.We'll also be joined by the team who've been planning
:00:32. > :00:34.this huge medal haul for years, and ask them what it all means
:00:35. > :00:45.I'll be talking live to the Shetland schoolgirl making a big splash
:00:46. > :00:51.As the athletics swing into action here at Hampden,
:00:52. > :00:57.we'll hear from a man who did it all before - over 40 years ago.
:00:58. > :01:01.How you can bid for the now-famous props used
:01:02. > :01:22.Good evening from Hampden Park, which was the biggest
:01:23. > :01:27.in the world when it opened more than 100 years ago.
:01:28. > :01:30.When the action gets underway in a short while it might just be
:01:31. > :01:37.It's official, it's Scotland's golden games.
:01:38. > :01:41.A few hours ago bowlers Paul Foster and Alex Marshall beat Malaysia to
:01:42. > :01:44.pick up Scotland's record breaking twelfth gold medal.
:01:45. > :01:54.Overall, Team Scotland now has a total of 31 medals,
:01:55. > :01:56.- 32, just more than our Commonwealth best showing, at
:01:57. > :02:04.Edinburgh in 1986. But first, forget Golden Balls, it's Golden bowls.
:02:05. > :02:08.Let's to go Rhona McLeod at Kelvingrove.
:02:09. > :02:12.Yes, this is where the historic 12th gold medal came.
:02:13. > :02:20.Paul Foster and Alex Marshall absolutely dominated their Malaysian
:02:21. > :02:28.For Marshall it was his third Games medal and he says the best ever
:02:29. > :02:32.It was the perfect day out in the sun also for the thousands
:02:33. > :02:43.of Scottish bowls fans who turned out from near and far to watch.
:02:44. > :02:58.THEY SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM The 12 rendition for a historic
:02:59. > :03:01.record-breaking 12 gold medal. A glittering performance of bowls at
:03:02. > :03:09.their best as they charged to a 20-3 victory. COMMENTATOR:
:03:10. > :03:14.their best as they charged to a 20-3 run-through. They've got at! And
:03:15. > :03:21.they've done it again. Second time the cold for Paul Foster, third for
:03:22. > :03:28.Alex Marshall. It is a fantastic, fantastic way. Obviously winning
:03:29. > :03:35.with the best player in the world, the productive fantastic display and
:03:36. > :03:43.made it easier for me. He did a great job. Versus team Scotland's 12
:03:44. > :03:48.medal, do you know that is historic? They are we now understand
:03:49. > :03:52.that as the record, which is fantastic for team Scotland and all
:03:53. > :04:01.these boards involved in it. We are very proud of it. Alex, this is your
:04:02. > :04:09.third gold medal. This tops the other two. Winning it all in your
:04:10. > :04:14.home country, on your home court, you cannot beat it. Which made for
:04:15. > :04:18.the thousands of Scots bowls finds, it was a powerful advert for the
:04:19. > :04:25.game. It is fantastic to see the guys, we would the middle. It brings
:04:26. > :04:28.such powerful atmosphere. I hope it brings a lot because we are trying
:04:29. > :04:33.to encourage young people to comment on this board and I think if they
:04:34. > :04:38.see how they have got on today, that should encourage anybody. They
:04:39. > :04:46.played brilliant, deserved it. Well done, boys. Well done, Scotland.
:04:47. > :05:07.Bowls finds young and old are united. Fans. More medals are more
:05:08. > :05:11.likely. The bowls continue on Wednesday so I would hazard a bit
:05:12. > :05:15.that there are more still to come. Thank you very much.
:05:16. > :05:18.This place may be famous for its roar, which hopefully we'll hear
:05:19. > :05:22.when Libby Clegg takes to the track just after 8pm, but last night they
:05:23. > :05:24.nearly took the roof off Tollcross swimming pool when 13-year-old
:05:25. > :05:25.Erraid Davies from Shetland became Scotland's
:05:26. > :05:43.So much attention on this young girl, just 13 years old. She did not
:05:44. > :05:48.even tell your friends she was competing in the Commonwealth Games.
:05:49. > :05:56.Last night, as the crowd went crazy, she's won the race of her life and
:05:57. > :05:58.instantly became a star. Beaming the broadest smiles as she climbed out
:05:59. > :06:09.of the swimming pool, winning bronze. I was just really happy. I
:06:10. > :06:14.really wanted to get it! This, would you believe it, is where she trains.
:06:15. > :06:21.A swimming pool on the 60 metres long. It is an achievement for
:06:22. > :06:25.Shetland and the swimming pool. We might be a small community but we
:06:26. > :06:31.can do what everyone else can. It is a 50 mile round trip from her home.
:06:32. > :06:34.She has named training sessions per week. Very proud and excited last
:06:35. > :06:40.night. I was shouting at the television. She looked at one of her
:06:41. > :06:44.opponents so I told her off. So proud. A moment that delighted the
:06:45. > :06:46.crowds and will be favoured by Scotland's and this ever competitor
:06:47. > :06:50.in a Commonwealth Games. And bronze medal winning
:06:51. > :06:52.Erraid and her proud parents What a day you have had!
:06:53. > :07:03.think back to last night, all What a day you have had!
:07:04. > :07:10.hours ago? What was going through your mind when you stood up there?
:07:11. > :07:13.hours ago? What was going through was really nervous but excited and
:07:14. > :07:19.wanting to go for it. And when you touched the wall, did you realise
:07:20. > :07:24.what a great swimming at night? Not really, not until I looked at the
:07:25. > :07:30.board. It took a while to figure it out but once I saw my time, I was
:07:31. > :07:37.really happy. And it was a personal best! Joyce, David, she has put you
:07:38. > :07:42.through the emotional ringer. I know you're proud but what a 24 hours! It
:07:43. > :07:47.has been incredible. We are full of excitement and celebration. She has
:07:48. > :07:52.made us be progress parents. Those are the words that you said and that
:07:53. > :08:00.is what we are. -- the proudest parents. Could you there to watch?
:08:01. > :08:04.Just about. It was difficult but because she was behind Abbey split,
:08:05. > :08:11.I thought she needed a lot of encouragement and so along with the
:08:12. > :08:17.rest, I got behind and shouted shouted and then she made it. -- she
:08:18. > :08:22.was behind at the split. Can you remember anything from today? What
:08:23. > :08:29.has been the most interesting or exciting moment? Seeing all of the
:08:30. > :08:34.BBC studios. You have seen quite a few today! She began swimming
:08:35. > :08:38.because she had a hip condition, something that was a very come at a
:08:39. > :08:48.time. Who would have thought so much joy could have come out of it? Yes,
:08:49. > :08:50.she was only three years old when she was diagnosed with the condition
:08:51. > :08:55.and swimming was the only activity she was allowed to go, because she
:08:56. > :08:59.was not allowed to walk, it was too painful. Being in the water and
:09:00. > :09:04.being able to be pain-free and walk around and have fine as a
:09:05. > :09:10.four-year-old is the way it all began. And I am told that you always
:09:11. > :09:12.enjoy your training sessions and never do not go. There must be
:09:13. > :09:20.something very special about the water. Especially the further north
:09:21. > :09:24.you go. She trains in a very small pool. I think it is just
:09:25. > :09:28.determination and the fact that she has got a very good coach, who has
:09:29. > :09:35.really nurtured her and brought her on. Without Laraine I do not think
:09:36. > :09:38.that she would be where she is now. We wish you all the best. You have
:09:39. > :09:45.given a nation much enjoyment. For you, I think you have got another
:09:46. > :09:47.competition and then back to school! Thank you for joining us.
:09:48. > :09:49.Scotland's swimmers are certainly riding the crest of those waves
:09:50. > :09:53.And there are more chances of a place in the podium this evening.
:09:54. > :09:56.In fact, potentially more than one, as there are three Scottish swimmers
:09:57. > :09:58.in the 50 metre breast stroke final, including Ross Murdoch.
:09:59. > :10:12.After the excitement of last night we will have to hope that the crowd
:10:13. > :10:17.will be in great voices evening. We have 11 Scottish competitors in
:10:18. > :10:20.events tonight. Hannah Miley will have two events this evening with
:10:21. > :10:24.more tomorrow. I think the biggest cheer for the evening will be
:10:25. > :10:32.reserved for Ross and his two team-mates. Ross is rapidly turning
:10:33. > :10:37.into the golden boy of these games, with a gold and a silver already.
:10:38. > :10:43.What more can he deliver tonight? Let's hope it will be a medal for
:10:44. > :10:47.one of those boys. The timing of that event is 8:49pm and it will be
:10:48. > :11:01.over in 30 seconds so make sure that you do not forget to tune in.
:11:02. > :11:06.Across the Clyde, at the SEC see, -- across the Clyde, there is a
:11:07. > :11:08.between gymnasts who're usually teammates at the Olympics but find
:11:09. > :11:11.themselves in direct competition for gold in the men's team final.
:11:12. > :11:13.Let's get the latest from Jane Lewis.
:11:14. > :11:19.battle royale ongoing yes, this has been the centre point for the
:11:20. > :11:24.main's gymnastics. It has finished for the day and Scotland are lying
:11:25. > :11:29.in a silver medal position. England are in front, with that battle as he
:11:30. > :11:34.said. Canada are lying in third spot. As I say, three apparatus in,
:11:35. > :11:41.Scotland are in the silver medal position. That is great news. Let's
:11:42. > :11:44.get a bit more take on this from a man who knows a thing or two about
:11:45. > :11:51.winning a Commonwealth gymnastics medal. Scotland in silver position.
:11:52. > :11:56.Can they stay there or close that gap? I believe they can. We are at a
:11:57. > :12:00.great stage. Three apparatus has gone and we have got a three to go.
:12:01. > :12:04.We are going to reshuffle overnight and tomorrow we have our final
:12:05. > :12:08.three. We are strong on the kids to come and I think we can do even
:12:09. > :12:12.better and hopefully narrow the gap a bit between us and England in
:12:13. > :12:16.gymnastics. It is quite interesting because some
:12:17. > :12:21.of the people are part of team GB and now up against their team-mates
:12:22. > :12:31.performing for England. How do they look in the Scotland colours to you?
:12:32. > :12:34.They got off to a shaky start on the horrors at our getting into the
:12:35. > :12:41.swing of it. Tomorrow is the new gene. They are in a great position.
:12:42. > :12:48.-- on the course. Hopefully, tomorrow, fingers crossed, as these
:12:49. > :12:52.boys can do, we will be on that podium and it could be a silver, it
:12:53. > :12:58.could be a bronze... It could be a gold. Let's keep our fingers
:12:59. > :13:03.crossed. The women's event is about to get underway. As Steve says, the
:13:04. > :13:07.men are back in action tomorrow morning. We will keep our fingers
:13:08. > :13:13.crossed because if they do win a medal, it will be history in the
:13:14. > :13:22.making. Men's gymnastic teams for Scotland have never won a medal at
:13:23. > :13:23.the Commonwealth Games. As you can see, the stadium is
:13:24. > :13:26.filling up. No wonder. Up at the Barry Buddon centre
:13:27. > :13:29.near Carnoustie, spectators took a battering,
:13:30. > :13:32.and the rain was so bad it washed Let's see how our competitors got
:13:33. > :13:48.on from Heather Dewar. She came away with three
:13:49. > :13:55.Commonwealth Games medals last time and now has another. The 23-year-old
:13:56. > :14:00.Scot unable to defend her title in 2014 but bringing home a bronze and
:14:01. > :14:03.delighted just to medal. I am slightly disappointed I did not
:14:04. > :14:07.defend my title but it was a great performance and I am glad to get a
:14:08. > :14:14.medal and just happy that it is all done! No such luck for John Hammond,
:14:15. > :14:20.who failed to even qualify for the event where he won gold for years
:14:21. > :14:25.ago. Among the other Scottish people, Sean Marshall failed to
:14:26. > :14:26.qualify for the women's and now retires from international
:14:27. > :14:36.competition. Out of the two big hopes for medals today, we have come
:14:37. > :14:40.away with one, a bronze medal in the 50 metres. John Hammond disappointed
:14:41. > :14:45.not to qualify for the final in the event but we do
:14:46. > :14:46.not to qualify for the final in the And confidence is still high that
:14:47. > :14:49.Scotland can bring home another medal.
:14:50. > :14:53.Scotland can bring home another we will be hopeful of doing
:14:54. > :14:58.something there. We are where we are and we are pretty much on track with
:14:59. > :15:01.what we hoped we might get. We would always liked more, of course! For
:15:02. > :15:03.Scotland! As you know, Scotland's national
:15:04. > :15:05.football stadium has undergone a transformation to become this
:15:06. > :15:08.world class athletics track. This evening we're expecting a
:15:09. > :15:13.capacity crowd of 44,000 spectators. Our sportsmen and women have
:15:14. > :15:16.delivered, hitting that new record -- 12 gold medals. But how is this
:15:17. > :15:43.interest in sport sustained and I'm joined by the Chief Executive
:15:44. > :15:51.of Sportscotland, Stuart Harris. It is fantastic. The athletes have
:15:52. > :15:58.worked for years and we are moving past our target on day five. A
:15:59. > :16:01.worked for years and we are moving match. You're responsible for
:16:02. > :16:05.drawing up the schedule of events. Did you arrange it to get out
:16:06. > :16:10.drawing up the schedule of events. a flying start? ! Zero were other
:16:11. > :16:13.people there at the same time but we did look at the programming and it
:16:14. > :16:18.is good that the home team does well and they get off to a bank. Leeds
:16:19. > :16:23.who succeeded, what ever daily put the programme on, or they would have
:16:24. > :16:27.done the same thing. Stewart Harris, while being very pleased at what we
:16:28. > :16:33.have achieved so far, there are some people who say that tens of millions
:16:34. > :16:35.of pounds have been spent on the games and that spending money on
:16:36. > :16:41.elite athletes might not be money best spent. We are very proud of
:16:42. > :16:48.Teen Scotland and what they have done but we have also committed
:16:49. > :16:52.money forward to 2019, given money to schools and have been working
:16:53. > :16:57.within communities, bringing people together in communities to deliver
:16:58. > :17:00.sport and look after themselves. It has been fantastic. And the Queen's
:17:01. > :17:08.Baton really connected all those communities. We believe we have got
:17:09. > :17:12.a world-class system at school, love and performance -- School, club and
:17:13. > :17:19.performance level. So you are saying that you're happy that the teaching
:17:20. > :17:22.is there? It is getting better. The Government has committed to two
:17:23. > :17:25.hours. We have active schools in place for ten years, allowing young
:17:26. > :17:30.people to get involved in recreation, for fun, to be with her
:17:31. > :17:35.friends and for those who want to be competitive to be competitive. We
:17:36. > :17:37.think we have got a really good, balanced programme for as many young
:17:38. > :17:43.people in Scotland to get involved. John, half way through the athletes
:17:44. > :17:50.have done us proud. What are you hoping for in terms of more cold
:17:51. > :17:55.medals? We are getting greedy! Hopefully the middle so, about the
:17:56. > :17:59.performance. You cannot do anything about the other competitors but we
:18:00. > :18:02.have got some good sports coming up. We have got some fantastic,
:18:03. > :18:07.world-class performance. Athletics is just started and some great
:18:08. > :18:13.performances earlier today. We have still got seven boxers in at this
:18:14. > :18:15.stage going to the final stage of competition. Lots more to watch and
:18:16. > :18:16.hope for. Join us at Hampden in a few moments,
:18:17. > :18:20.when we'll be hearing from a man who got Scotland
:18:21. > :18:23.off to an unforgettable start While you ponder that one,
:18:24. > :18:27.it's back to Sally in the studio A 23-year-old man has appeared
:18:28. > :18:32.in court in Edinburgh, following an alleged attack on an
:18:33. > :18:36.85-year-old woman in her Morningside Robert Buczek is charged with
:18:37. > :18:41.assault and attempted murder. Julie Peacock was at the
:18:42. > :18:53.Sheriff Court. It is no more than two weeks since
:18:54. > :18:59.this quiet morning side street became the scene of a brutal attack
:19:00. > :19:03.on an 85-year-old woman. That it could happen here has shocked at
:19:04. > :19:07.this community. Not least because the woman was attacked in her own
:19:08. > :19:10.home in the middle of the afternoon. Her husband had left her alone for
:19:11. > :19:15.only a couple of hours to go shopping on a Friday afternoon. When
:19:16. > :19:20.he returned, he found his wife with life-threatening injuries. Police
:19:21. > :19:24.say the pensioner is still in a serious but stable condition. An
:19:25. > :19:29.extensive investigation over the last two weeks has seen more than
:19:30. > :19:34.1000 drivers and passers-by questioned to see whether anybody so
:19:35. > :19:39.anything unusual on that evening. Today, a 23-year-old man appeared
:19:40. > :19:44.here at the court charged with attempted murder. He made no plea or
:19:45. > :19:45.declaration and was remanded in custody until his next court
:19:46. > :19:49.appearance on the 5th of August. The Scottish Fire and Rescue service
:19:50. > :19:51.is facing trial, accused of health and safety breaches
:19:52. > :19:54.following the death of a firefighter Ewan Williamson died in July 2009,
:19:55. > :19:57.after he became trapped while tackling a blaze in a bar
:19:58. > :20:00.on Dalry Road. The Fire and Rescue Service deny
:20:01. > :20:03.three charges under the Health and Safety at Work Act,
:20:04. > :20:06.including a failure to prioritise A further hearing is scheduled
:20:07. > :20:21.for September. A murder enquiry is underway after
:20:22. > :20:24.a man was found seriously injured 23-year-old Stephen McGowan was
:20:25. > :20:27.pronounced dead at the scene Police are trying to piece together
:20:28. > :20:31.the victim's last movements. The organisers of the
:20:32. > :20:36.Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo have been giving details of
:20:37. > :20:40.the line-up for this year's event. Steel drummers from Trinidad
:20:41. > :20:43.and Tobago are among those taking part at the annual event
:20:44. > :20:46.on the Castle Esplanade. The programme will mark the 350th
:20:47. > :20:50.anniversary of the Royal Marines and the centenary of World War One,
:20:51. > :20:59.which started on August 4th. Over the next few days it's hoped
:21:00. > :21:07.that Scots like Eilidh Child, Libby Clegg and Lyndsey Sharp will
:21:08. > :21:15.achieve success on this track. If they do, they'll be following in
:21:16. > :21:21.the footsteps of a man whose gutsy gold medal-winning run made his name
:21:22. > :21:23.synonymous with the Commonwealth No doubt he's been telling
:21:24. > :21:42.Aileen Clark a few stories. You are quite right there. I am
:21:43. > :21:45.sitting here with the man who won gold in the 1970 Commonwealth Games.
:21:46. > :21:50.He tells me that was the first final on the first day of those games.
:21:51. > :22:02.Talk about getting Scotland off to a flying start. He is of. Tell us
:22:03. > :22:07.about that. You had played the race well. The Australian was in front of
:22:08. > :22:15.you. How did you win it? It was fantastic. I had never been beaten
:22:16. > :22:19.over the last 100 metres of a race. I had done a good time in the
:22:20. > :22:24.Scottish Championships a few weeks earlier and I thought I had a good
:22:25. > :22:28.chance of a medal. My plan was that if anybody goes at half way, I will
:22:29. > :22:33.go with them and just hanging. Because Clark and Taylor were at the
:22:34. > :22:38.tape to grind you into the ground. But by the time you cross the finish
:22:39. > :22:44.line, how much I view cart of your personal best? 20 seconds. And what
:22:45. > :22:50.was it like when you go the gold around your neck and had the crowd
:22:51. > :22:54.roaring? Unimaginable. It is one of those things. You could not really
:22:55. > :22:58.explain it other than you were only high and it is only when you go at
:22:59. > :23:06.home at night and are lying in bed and your mind goes back and, "what
:23:07. > :23:21.what have I done?" And I am sure both Murdoch will be feeling the
:23:22. > :23:24.same. -- Tim three, -- Ross. How did you train? Speak I worked in the
:23:25. > :23:29.dental hospital at the time and before I went in in the mornings, I

:26:50. > :26:53.on a fairly cloudy note and also quite damp. Especially across
:26:54. > :26:56.western Scotland. That cloud will push across the country to eastern
:26:57. > :27:03.areas but any rain will tend to die away. By the time we have reached
:27:04. > :27:05.the afternoon, it is looking like a predominantly dry afternoon across
:27:06. > :27:10.the south and there will be brightness also, with some sunny

:27:45. > :27:47.Tomorrow evening, we will see some showers across the West but they
:27:48. > :27:51.will continue to drive away over the evening. If we take a look at the
:27:52. > :27:58.pressure chart, you can see that the North of us there will be an area of
:27:59. > :28:03.low pressure, which will create some showers into Thursday. Keep an eye
:28:04. > :28:09.on that and we will bring you up to date tomorrow.
