    The baton has seamlessly made the transition from Bothwell to Hamilton, as the relay moves past Hamilton racecourse.

    There are only another 10 baton bearers to go today.

    We used the "final furlong" gag a few days ago. Let's hope nobody noticed.

  12. Well done Scottpublished at 17:47 British Summer Time 22 June 2014

    One of the most popular baton bearers we have seen in today's relay in South Lanarkshire is Scott Laidlaw, who was cheered through the streets of Bothwell.
