Capturing the
heart of a nation
Legacy of Glasgow 2014 will make the city a better place for years to come
I
t was a visit to the Manchester
Commonwealth Games in
2002 by senior figures from
the city that first sparked the
thought that maybe, just maybe,
Glasgow could do this too.
At the time, it was seen as
wildly ambitious and a bit risky
to take on this huge task – the
second-largest multi-sport event
in the world and the biggest event
Scotland could ever hope to host.
But from the kernel of an idea,
support grew, along with the
sense of ambition that Glasgow
can take on the world when
it puts its mind to it. The city
grabbed this idea as a way to
look to the future and bring
sport, culture, and the health and
wellbeing of its citizens into the
heart of regeneration plans for
the next 20 years.
As the city’s political leadership,
the Scottish Executive and
Commonwealth Games Scotland
embraced the idea, a team
was assembled to prepare a
formal bid to present to the
international Commonwealth
Games Federation (CGF).
Through this detailed technical
process, city leaders realised the
practicalities of delivering the
infrastructure for the Games were
not insurmountable. Since the
mid-1990s, Glasgow had invested
hundreds of millions of pounds
in sports venues for local people
and there were already plans for
a new National Indoor Arena.
Just bring that forward, add a
More than 8,000 people
have used the Sir Chris Hoy
Velodrome since it opened
in October 2012
Velodrome, upgrade Tollcross
Swimming pool and the Lawn
Bowls at Kelvingrove and build a
new National Hockey Centre and
everything would be in place.
As the technical work continued,
it was the passion with which the
bid was embraced by the public,
business and charities across
Scotland which really captured
the imagination. The campaign
showed voting delegates across
the world, who would decide
the fate of the bids, that Glasgow
could not only deliver on the
practicalities, but that its passion
for sport, and a party, would make
the 2014 Games special.
Alongside Glasgow, Halifax in
Canada and Abuja in Nigeria were
in the running. Halifax dropped out
LEGACY
before the final vote, leaving it a
two-horse race up to decision day in
Sri Lanka. With tension mounting,
the CGF’s General Assembly voted
on 9 November 2007. After both
cities made their presentation,
Glasgow emerged victorious with
47 votes to Abuja’s 24.
The city immediately set about
making plans to fulfil its number
one priority – that Glasgow would
work hard to produce a lasting
legacy for its citizens from the
hosting of the Games. This event
would not just be an 11-day
spectacular, but would benefit
the economic prospects, health
and wellbeing of the city for
many years to come. Seven years
later, this work has delivered a
host of lasting benefits for the city.
The council’s ambitious
Commonwealth Apprenticeship
Initiative has created Modern
Apprenticeship places for around
2,500 Glasgow school leavers. It
forms a key element of the
£50 million Glasgow Guarantee,
which aims to give every Glaswegian
aged between 16 and 24 access to
a job, training or an apprenticeship.
Contracts totalling £200 million
have been won by Glasgow
businesses and the Athlete’s
Village in Dalmarnock has led
THE BIG G: The affectionate name that
has already been given to a spectacular new
installation in George Square as part of the city’s
Games branding. Share your images: #TheBigG
the transformation of the East
End, providing 700 sustainable
homes for a new generation of
Glaswegians.
Every venue built by the
council for the Games is now in
use by the public, a world first
for Glasgow. More than 8,000
people have used the Sir Chris
Hoy Velodrome since it opened
in October 2012; attendances at
adult active health programmes
have grown by 40 per cent in the
past three years; and the numbers
of junior clubs, volunteers and
members have also increased
significantly over that period.
The council has committed to
continuing to deliver on its legacy
to make Glasgow a better place to
live, work and play for many years.
YOU’RE HIRED…
GUARANTEED
G
lasgow’s Games journey was never
intended to be just about the sport.
It was always about what it would mean
for the people of the city. And for more
than 4,500 of them, it’s meant work, training
or apprenticeships.
Planning for the Games by Glasgow City Council
has included delivering a range of projects designed
to leave a lasting legacy for the city.
One of those legacy projects – the £50 million
Glasgow Guarantee – was designed to provide a job,
training or apprenticeship place for everyone in the
city between the ages of 16 and 24. It also assists
Glaswegians over this age in refreshing their skills so
they can access new job opportunities.
The Glasgow Guarantee comprises the
Commonwealth Apprenticeship Initiative, the
Commonwealth Graduate Fund, the Commonwealth
Jobs Fund and the Commonwealth Youth Fund and
the Glasgow Veteran’s Employment Programme.
Legacy projects are also helping to make the
city greener, more accessible and more active, with
a huge increase in sports participation figures over
the last couple of years.
Councillor Gordon Matheson, Leader of Glasgow
City Council, said: “We want to give Glaswegians the
skills and opportunities to find work and fulfil their
aspirations for a brighter future. The more skilled
people we have in the city, and the more we link
these skills to the needs of business,
the easier it is to attract future
investment and jobs. This is a
win-win situation for Glasgow
and everyone that lives here.
“We are ensuring that the
Commonwealth Games will
continue to help our citizens
flourish and the city’s economy
grow for years to come.”

QUEEN’S BATON RELAY
Queen’s Baton celebrations will fire up city for Opening Ceremony
Start of our
relay big
adventure
T
he Queen’s Baton Relay
will visit every part of
Glasgow as it travels
through the Host City
in the three days immediately
before the Opening Ceremony
of the XX Commonwealth
Games on 23 July. The route will
take in world-famous landmarks
as well as being celebrated in
every community across the city.
Between 20 and 22 July, the
soundscape of our city will be
amplified with live bands and
choirs. Roads and paths will be
animated with dancers and
street performers. Community
spaces will be awash with
banners and bunting.
It is an exciting opportunity
for everyone to be involved,
from cheering along the route
as it snakes across the city, to
attending special events to
support your community heroes
carrying the baton. You are all
invited to demonstrate pride in
your city and show the world
how Glasgow celebrates.
At the end of each day’s relay,
thousands of people will be
able to enjoy Finish Line events
in Springburn Park (20 July),
Victoria Park (21 July) and the
Queen’s Park Recreation Ground
(22 July). Up to 8,000 people will
be invited to join the party at
each of the events. Free tickets
will be issued through a ballot
for the Finish Line events.
On 20 July, the baton will pass
landmarks, including the Gallery
of Modern Art, George Square,
Glasgow Cathedral and Mitchell
Library, as well as communities
across the north and east of the
city. The following day, the baton
will visit the West End, taking
in Kelvingrove Art Gallery and
Museum, the Botanic Gardens
and the Finnieston Crane.
On the final day of the relay,
the baton will travel to the
south side, visiting landmarks
such as the Burrell Collection,
Tramway and Citizens’ Theatre.
Councillor Gordon Matheson,
Leader of Glasgow City Council,
said: “The arrival of the Queen’s
Baton will really signal the start
of the celebrations.
“We know how to put on a
party and from Castlemilk to
Easterhouse, Drumchapel to
Auchenshuggle, and everywhere
in between, people will have a
chance to welcome the baton
and really be a part of the Games.
“I’ve no doubt the batonbearers will receive amazing
support as they run along the
city streets as Glasgow gears up
to host the biggest sporting
and cultural celebration the
country has ever seen. To mark
that, we will host three Finish
Line events in
the north, west
and south of the
city – bringing
the Games to life
right across Glasgow. It
is a chance to showcase
our great city on a global
stage and I’ve no doubt
the people of Glasgow will
be the stars of the show.”
David Grevemberg,
Chief Executive, Glasgow
2014, said: “The Queen’s
Baton Relay is a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity
for people across Scotland
to celebrate what’s
extraordinary and unique
about their communities, and
honour those locals who
make a difference to others.
“The baton will visit hundreds
of villages, towns and cities,
with thousands taking part
in the relay, and many more
attending the vast programme
of events along the route.
“The momentum is building
for the biggest festival of sport
and culture this nation has
ever hosted.”
The Games are a chance to
showcase our great city on a
global stage and I’ve no doubt
the people of Glasgow will be
the stars of the show
QUEEN’S BATON RELAY
AROUND THE WORLD IN 288 DAYS
On 9 October 2013, the Glasgow 2014
Queen’s Baton Relay set off on its journey
around the nations and territories of the
Commonwealth. The International Sector
of the journey lasts 248 days, covers more
than 190,000 kilometres and crosses
continents, terrains and time zones.
On Saturday 14 June 2014, the baton
enters the final straight. With up to 4,000
batonbearers joining the relay in more than
400 communities, this is Scotland’s biggestever relay. The Queen’s Baton is visiting all
32 local authorities, with up to 100 people
carrying Her Majesty’s message daily.
Selected batonbearers have been nominated
in recognition of their contributions to local
sport, community and youth.
The relay offers people across Scotland
the opportunity to join in on great days
out. There are countless sports and cultural
events taking place daily along the route,
including an evening celebration, so that
even bigger crowds can enjoy the festivities.
Delivered in partnership with
Commonwealth Games Scotland, the final
leg of the relay brings the host nation
one step closer to the thrill of the Games,
building anticipation and an enormous
sense of pride.
The relay will reflect the important
role that sport plays in local communities
by visiting schools, sporting
venues and leisure &
recreation centres, with
events and activities
supported by the
sportscotland Active Schools Network. The
288-day relay concludes on 23 July 2014 at
the Opening Ceremony, when the baton is
delivered back to Her Majesty The Queen.
After reading Her message of welcome to
the athletes of the Commonwealth, the
Games will officially begin.
The final leg of the Glasgow 2014 Queen’s
Baton Relay will take place on Sunday 20
July, when the baton returns to Glasgow for
a three-day relay around the host city. Three
evening celebrations will be held as part
of the baton’s time in the city; on Sunday
20 July, the evening celebration will be at
Springburn Park; on Monday 21 July, it will
take place at Victoria Park and on Tuesday
22 July, the evening celebration will be held
at Queen’s Park Recreation Ground.

CASE STUDY
GLASGOW MAGAZINE QUEEN’S BATON RELAY
HUNTER REID, OBE – Project Co-ordinator for Maryhill Burgh Halls,
who led the team that delivered the £10 million urban regeneration,
tells of his honour at being a batonbearer in the Queen’s Baton Relay.
Are you looking forward to
carrying the baton in July?
I am delighted to have been
chosen and am looking forward
with great excitement and
anticipation to the day that the
baton comes to Maryhill. For the
last 10 years I have worked on
the restoration of Maryhill Burgh
Halls. It has been the most
enjoyable, challenging project
of my career and to carry the
baton here will be very special.
What does it mean to you to
have been nominated?
It’s a great honour. I was thrilled
when I heard and I am delighted
that my daughter Alice and
granddaughters Lois and Naomi,
who live in Malaysia, and
my daughter Lucy and my
granddaughter Heather, who
live in Dublin, will be there to
witness the event on the day.
Do you know who
nominated you and why?
I was nominated by the Board of
Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust (and my
two daughters, I believe) for the
work I have done there with many
other dedicated colleagues and
volunteers. I have led the team
responsible for raising the
£10 million necessary for funding
and carrying out the restoration
of Maryhill Burgh Halls and
adjoining Police Station over the
past 10 years. I received an OBE
for Services to Architecture and
to Community Engagement from
Prince William last year. He told
me how much he was looking
forward to the Commonwealth
Games in Glasgow in 2014. Never
for a minute did I think I would
carry the Queen’s Baton this July.

HOST CITY VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are our
‘real heart and soul’
A
n army of 1,500
volunteers have been
recruited to provide the
warmest of welcomes
to visitors to the Glasgow 2014
Commonwealth Games.
The Host City Volunteers
will bring passion and pride to
Glasgow’s streets as they help
visitors navigate around the city,
providing information on the
sports programme, Live Sites,
Recruits to play host to the world as they guide
Commonwealth Games visitors around city
and the many cultural activities
the city will have on offer during
the Games.
The volunteer programme
is part of Host City Glasgow, a
three-year project led by Glasgow
Life, to enhance the potential
impact of the Glasgow 2014
Commonwealth Games on civic
pride, volunteering legacy and
communities in the host city.
The £1.7 million project was
awarded £632,000 by the Big
Lottery Fund, with other funding
and support provided by Glasgow
City Council and Glasgow Life. As

“The people of
Glasgow will
be the magic
ingredient that
makes for
the best ever
Commonwealth
Games”
HOSTS WITH THE MOST:
Three of the volunteers who
will help visitors find their way
around during Glasgow 2014
the host city, Glasgow is looking
to maximise opportunities for
local people to feel connected
with, and play an active part in,
delivery of the Games. The project
will offer exciting opportunities
to do just that, while welcoming
visitors and showcasing the city.
The Host City Volunteer
programme will target
communities and groups that
may have previously encountered
barriers to becoming involved
in volunteering. The volunteers,
who will all live, work or study in
the city, will receive training and
support before, during and after
the Games, with the hope that
many will use the opportunity as
a springboard to further enhance
their own lives or those of their
local communities.
The programme provides
additional support for those
who require it, from helping
to pay for transport costs, to
providing dedicated training
and operational support.
Councillor Archie Graham,
Depute Leader of Glasgow City
Council and the Chair of Glasgow
Life, said: “These volunteers will
be the face of Glasgow and will
represent the real heart and soul
of the city, offering a welcome
that’s bursting with warmth,
passion and pride.
“I’ve absolutely no doubt that
the people of Glasgow will be
the magic ingredient that makes
for the best ever Commonwealth
Games and I’m delighted that,
through the Host City Volunteer
programme, we can support
individuals and communities
to be part of that.
“We’re absolutely committed
to ensuring that those who have
faced barriers to volunteering,
such as disabled people or those
with caring responsibilities, will
now be able to be part of the
biggest celebration Scotland
has ever seen.
“I’m also delighted that the
Big Lottery is supporting us to
achieve a real, lasting legacy
for everyone who takes part.”
Maureen McGinn, Big Lottery
Fund Scotland Chair, said:
“The Host City Volunteering
programme offers a once-in-alifetime opportunity to be part
of the Glasgow’s Commonwealth
Games experience.
“Our funding of more than
£1.7 million means people who
live, work or study in Glasgow
can access the necessary support
to enable them to volunteer.
Volunteering is massively
rewarding and those who sign up
will play a vital role in the success
of this landmark sporting event.”

GRAN FIONA SAYS GET WITH THE PROGRAMME
One of our volunteers,
Fiona Clark, is a 50-year-old
Glaswegian woman born

how welcoming Glaswegians
are and, by offering her local
expertise, she will ensure all of
the visitors to the city make
the most of their time here.
Fiona admits she is not
overly athletic but the Host
City Volunteer co-ordinators
were very friendly and
encouraging and assured her
this would not be a barrier
when volunteering.
Fiona says training to be
a Host City Volunteer has
given her the spark she
needed to encourage her
to help out more around
the city and she hopes to
continue volunteering
after the Glasgow
2014 Commonwealth
Games have been
and gone.
But first she will
be concentrating
on being the face
of Glasgow when
we welcome the
world during July and August.
Fiona is really passionate
about Glasgow and would
be more than happy to speak
to anyone who wants to find
out more about volunteering
to be a host during the
Commonwealth Games.
ROAD EVENTS
Gear up to line the streets of Glasgow and beyond for the Commonwealth Games road events
Fast, furious and free
T
hree Commonwealth Games road
events will see elite athletes race
through the heart of the city
and beyond.
The excitement will spread to towns and
villages around Glasgow as riders battle
against the clock in the Cycling Time Trial
event on Thursday 31 July, while Glasgow
itself becomes the race track on Sunday 3
August, with the fastest riders racing through
the city’s streets for the action-packed
Cycling Road Race.
In the Time Trial, top Commonwealth
cyclists will take on a challenging route (40km
for men, 30km for women) that starts and
finishes at Glasgow Green, taking in the areas
of East Dunbartonshire and North Lanarkshire
as well as the city’s East End.
The Road Race, also starting in Glasgow
Green, features a 14km circuit taking riders
along Argyle Street, Buchanan Street and
St Vincent Street, before carrying on to the
city’s West End, where they will pass through
Kelvingrove Park and circuit the West End
before heading back towards the city centre.
For the men’s race, competitors will complete

168km and lap the course 12 times. Female
riders will complete seven laps and 98km. The
route for this event was trialled last summer
when Glasgow hosted the British Cycling
National Road Race Championships.
On Sunday 27 July, athletes in the 42.195km
(26.2miles) Marathon route will also cross the
River Clyde four times as they push themselves
towards the finish line, Gold and glory.
Spectators won’t need a ticket for the
Cycling or Marathon routes as all three
events are free, giving everyone a chance to
experience the thrill of live sport. Make sure
you plan your journey before setting off as
travel conditions will be different from normal
across the city on these days, and in the days
immediately before as the courses are built.
Details of the routes and further information are
available on www.getreadyglasgow.com

TRAVEL
The journey
begins here
A
s the proud host city of
the XX Commonwealth
Games, we’re getting
ready to welcome over
one million additional visitors.
The Games will be the largest
cultural and sporting event
Scotland has ever seen and
Glasgow will be busier than ever –
some days there will be more than
200,000 people attending sporting
events across the city.
With events taking place in the
east, west and south of Glasgow,
and accommodation being
booked-up across the city and
beyond, the transport network
coming into and within Glasgow
will be much busier than usual.
It will be hard to miss the
extra cars on the roads and the
additional passengers on trains,
buses and the Subway but don’t
wait until you are joining a queue
to think about the quickest and
most comfortable way to get
around during the Games – start
to get ready now.
MIND THE GAP :
Plan ahead to
avoid disruption
Do you know how
your journey will
be impacted?
The Get Ready Glasgow website
has all the information you need
to help you understand how
your normal journeys might be
affected during the Games. This
information has been made
available to help you think about
your travel choices and how
you can minimise the impact of
the Games on your day-to-day
journeys.
Not sure you’ll be impacted?
Why not read about John,
Elizabeth and David’s journeys
during the Games.
JOHN, 50 FROM ANNIESLAND
John works in Glasgow city
centre. His normal hours are
9-to-5 and he takes the train from
Anniesland to Glasgow Central.
John had a look on the Get
Ready Glasgow website and he
REMODE: Use
the opportunity
to exercise
noticed that, throughout the
Games, the train line he uses to
get to work will be carrying up to
35,000 extra people per day back
and forth to the SECC.
John considered his options,
he could:
l re-time - leave for work a bit
later than normal
l reduce – work from one of his
organisation’s offices closer to his
home on the busiest days
l re-route – take the Glasgow
Queen Street train instead
l remode – cycle to work for
the 11 days of the Games.
John worked out that if he
cycled to work he could make it
KEEP UP TO DATE WITH THE LATEST TRAVEL INFO DURING THE GAMES

Make your journey easier
during by following these
top travelling tips:
l Don’t chance your
travel on the first few
days, plan ahead
l Try to avoid the
busiest times by re-timing
your journey
l Think about cycling
or walking some of
your journeys, it might
be the quickest way
l Don’t forget the
Marathon, Cycling time
trial and Cycling road race
will close roads on and
around their routes so
you might need to
change yours
l Certain stations such
as Scotstounhill, Queen
Street and Carntyne will
be much busier than
usual, plan ahead
l Some bus routes will
be diverted, so check
before you travel
l Making small changes
to the way you travel
might make it easier for
you to get around.
l Remember that
roads around Games
venues could be affected
by changed parking
conditions and road
closures, check whether
you will be affected at

had been thinking about doing
more exercise so thought this
could be the perfect opportunity.
ELIZABETH, 35 FROM NEWLANDS
Elizabeth meets her friends in
Glasgow every Sunday for coffee.
They’re planning to meet on
27 July on Buchanan Street.
She usually drives into the city
centre and parks but she had a
look at the Get Ready Glasgow
website and she realised that the
Marathon is on that day and that
there will be some road closures in
the city centre and southside.
Elizabeth considered her
options, she could:
l remode – take the train into
town instead of taking the car
l re-time – move the coffee to
the evening and make it a meal
l re-route – take the car and
do some shopping in the West
End and then jump on a bus into
the city centre for the coffee
l reduce – move the coffee
to the Friday afternoon and on
the Sunday go for a walk along
to Pollok park to cheer on the
Marathon runners.
Elizabeth and her friends
wanted to soak up the fantastic
atmosphere and get involved in
the Games so they moved their
coffee to the Friday and decided
to get behind the Games and
go along to the Marathon on
the Sunday.
DAVID, 28 FROM CALTON
David works in a bar in the West
End of Glasgow. His shifts change
weekly. He tends to take the
number 263 bus from the end of
his street and then jump on the
Subway along to work.
Having had a look on the Get
Ready Glasgow website, David
noticed that the 263 will be
diverted during the Games, which
will make his journey slightly
longer. He considered his options
and could:
l remode – cycle into the
West End, which would take
about 25mins
l re-route – walk into town and
then jump on the Subway to work,
which would take about 29 mins
l reduce – speak with his boss
about it and see if he can do more
hours over fewer days
l re-time – leave for work a
bit earlier than usual and take the
same route.
David was really happy with
the shifts he had been allocated
during Games time as it gave him
the chance to go to some of the
Festival 2014 events taking place
across the city. He decided that
the best thing to do would be to
use his usual mode of travel but
to leave for work a bit earlier than
usual to make sure he arrived in
plenty of time.
The atmosphere will be great
and it’s a chance to see some
of the world’s best athletes.

these top tips in mind:
l There will be large
numbers of people coming to

you leave plenty of time for
your journey and remember
viewing capacity at popular
places will be limited
l Check journey times
before and arrive early
l Be prepared to wait for
several hours and think carefully
about bringing small children.
Pack water and sunscreen as
well as waterproof clothing –
be prepared for the weather
l On road event days the
road race routes will be closed
from early in the morning until
late afternoon and there is no
parking near the route. This
could affect traffic so plan to
leave the car at home and use
alternatives instead
l There will be pedestrian
crossing points around the

For security reasons, a small

residents will need a permit to enter.
If you live in one of the affected streets,
we will send the relevant parking permit
for your street to you in the post. Existing
event day parking zones at Hampden and
Scotstoun will be used throughout the
Games and, if you already have a parking
permit for one of these areas, you don’t
