Yes, we did carry it, past our tennis club and my wife passed it over to me.

Here's a couple of images of it in our area. Carried by the Langholm Cornet and at Gretna Green (actress Ashley Jensen)

It's all about Glasgow here at the moment so kudos to the Scotts and I hope it boosts the cities economy massively for them.
Who are the Scotts?

Good, I hate that bloke with a passion. He needs to remember the days of Australia just routinely beating England are long gone, something that hopefully keeps him awake at night.

50,000 singing Flower of Scotland at Hampden a few nights ago was spine tingling.

Mr and Mrs OzT were privileged to carry the Queen's Baton so we feel a part of the Games.
I wish I'd been part of that!

Friends were and they said it was simply amazing.

A friend has been on duty as a doctor at various venues - the Hydro, Hampden and the Velodrome and he said every official and every athlete he has spoken to has been amazed by the reception they have received.

Shit or not I've just found my new (first) favourite Aussie athlete, Kim Mickle.

Just heard her interviewed on Ten and we need more of that. Unscripted, authentic, real.
