Aaron McNally, 14, carried the baton through Thornhill yesterday. Myrette Cowan emailed this great picture of him posing with her mother.

She says: "We were so grateful for the opportunity given to our mum Marion Black, one of the oldest residents in the village (don't tell anyone but she will be ninety in September), to hold the beautiful baton along with her new best friend Aaron.

"Thank the lovely policeman who allowed it."

If, like Myrette, you'd like to share your baton experiences we'd love to hear them. Please email us or get in touch using the hashtag #bbcbatonrelay, external on Twitter.

The baton will start its journey around Eilean Siar at Barra International Airport later this afternoon.

The airport is the only one in the world where scheduled flights land on a beach. At high tide the runway is under water.

In 2011, the airport came first in a poll, external of the world's top airport approaches.

Yesterday, one of the communities the baton visited was Drymen. Here are some of the best pictures from there:

A little earlier Conel tweeted, external: "A wee bit drookit at the #BatonRelay, external but that hasn't stopped the smiles. Congrats to all the baton bearers in Callander."

It has sadly been raining for most of the relay today but that hasn't dampened the spirits of the baton bearers or the crowds who are watching.

Earlier I said the baton would be on the move quite a bit today. After getting out the calculator, I believe it will travel about 252 miles (406km) between locations.

The baton is currently on its way Barra.

We may not have a video stream for the next few hours, but we will keep you up to date with all the latest from the Queen's Baton Relay on this text commentary.

The baton has now left Tyndrum. It is travelling at the head of a convoy of Blue Knights, a motorcycle club whose members consist of active and retired law enforcement officers.

Don't worry, the baton is safely strapped to the lead rider.

The wet weather didn't stop the crowds in Tyndrum turning out to cheer on baton bearer Diane Mailer.

Anna Mitchell sent in an email about Robert Russell, who just carried the baton in Tyndrum.

"Our charity (Paths for All) nominated one of the baton bearers who will be walking with the baton in Tyndrum today.

"We'd like to say a big well done to him and thanks for his brilliant work in leading Health Walks. We're delighted he's carrying the baton for walking!"

Robert has volunteered more than 1,400 hours of his time with the Stirling Walking Network since 2005 and has led more than 460 Health Walks.

"He leads walks for older adults in Care Homes and adults with mental health problems and dementia," said Anna Mitchell.

"Even a serious accident when he broke his neck hasn't stopped Robert leading walks and attending publicity events! His motto is: 'If I can lend a hand I will'."

The BBC's Graham Stewart sent us these pictures from the baton relay when it was in Crianlarich earlier.

Baton bearer Diane has been instrumental in creating and delivering sporting opportunities for children in the rural communities of Crianlarich and Tyndrum.

In addition to volunteering her time to coach extracurricular activities, Diane recruits and coordinates parent and community volunteers for the sports clubs.

If you are watching the video stream on this page, you will have noticed the baton has now arrived in Tyndrum.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see live pictures in Crianlarich due to poor signal. We will bring you still pictures of this section as soon as we have them.

Glasgow 2014, the organisers of the Commonwealth Games in a few weeks, love a fun fact. Here are some of their best:

• The surface at Hampden Park has been raised by 1.9m to transform it into an athletics arena

• Women's Boxing and Mixed Team Relay in Triathlon will make their Commonwealth Games debuts in Glasgow

Marion MacNeil emailed in to say: "Delighted to see the Queen's baton arriving on the Island of Barra this afternoon. Weather currently poor - rain - but thinking positively, a lot can happen in the next few hours!

"My mum - Katie MacNeil - is taking part in the relay. The oldest member (don't tell her that!), but so deserves to represent our community due to her dedication and ongoing voluntary work and for us, for being a wonderful mum of 6 and a super gran!!

"A proud day for our family... which is going to make me cry now. We are so humbled to have been included in this special event."

We wish Katie all the best for her turn with the baton. Do you have a message of support for one of the baton bearers? Get in touch.

The folks at Glasgow 2014 are armed with some banter this morning.

They tweeted, external: "Great crowds in Callander, they obviously remembered to circle their calendars about the #BatonRelay, external arriving today!"

Be warned - we'll have more equally bad jokes throughout the day.

There'll be a fair few showers around today as the baton moves between Stirlingshire to the Western Isles - some of them heavy, says BBC Weather, but some bright or sunny spells will also make an appearance.

Temperatures typically around 13 Celsius in frequent showers, but they may rise a few degrees higher in any sunshine.

The baton has just finished its time in Callander and here are some moments captured by the BBC's cameras.
