The McLean family - Lynne, Alistair and Heather - emailed about the relay this morning.
"Well done to our daughter Iona McLean, who carried the baton this morning in Bearsden," the said.
"A double gold medallist in table tennis at the Special Olympics in Bath last year, you'd think she would be used to the limelight - but she was totally overwhelmed, but loved every minute.
"Huge thanks to her police escort, and particularly Ian, who was a star with her."
Here is Iona, on the right, handing the baton to Rebecca O'Toole, whose mum Deborah also emailed to say they were "overwhelmed by the number of people who turned out to welcome the baton through Hillfoot".

Jim Sweeney has emailed to praise the baton relay's police escort. He says:
"I have watched you every day online constantly from early morning till last thing at night, and the coverage has been amazing. I will be lost when it stops.
"I think it is only correct that you inform the viewers that the people escorting the baton all over Scotland are serving officers of Police Scotland.
"I didn't realise this until today, and well done to them. They have got into the mood and are so friendly - just like real people! They are a credit to Police Scotland".
'Thanks everyone!'published at 15:24 British Summer Time 19 July 2014

A dream come truepublished at 14:56 British Summer Time 19 July 2014
Day 32 of the relay saw the baton travel around North Ayrshire. Karen Kelly was a baton bearer that day who jokingly pretended she wouldn't hand it back.
Karen has got in touch via email to share her experience of the event.
Image source, Karen Kelly"I'm 42 now and it's been my dream to run with the baton since I was eight. Finally, on the 15th July in Kilbirnie, I did! I grinned for the entire day and I think this picture just sums up how meaningful it was for me to run with the Queen's baton.
"I would also like to tell everyone how utterly fabulous Police Scotland were in providing the security around the baton. Every single detail was slick and well-managed. The escort were really friendly and entered into the spirit of it all, but were uber-vigilant.
"Thank you so much to every single person involved in the baton relay. You've made my dream come true better than I could ever imagine. The best day!"

Ian Stevenson swapped the traditional police escort for a guard of Roman legionaries as he carried the baton through Twechar.
The village sits close to the remains of the Antonine Wall, which marked the northernmost edge of the Roman empire. Given today's weather, it's no wonder they turned back.
Image source, Glasgow 2014Ian has been involved in youth work for over half a century. He formed football team Eastercraigs Boys' Club in 1960 and Lenzie Youth Club 20 years later. Both clubs are still going strong today.
Seventy-seven-year-old Ian continues to coach afterschool football and is "revered within the local community", according to those who nominated him.
