  2. Baton bearer - Bobby Quinnpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 22 July 2014

    Bobby's daughter Elizabeth got in touch via email to tell us his story.

    "I have closely followed Cameron Buttle's daily baton relay reports and really enjoyed the many interesting stories about the participants. I wanted to share with you my dad's story.

    "His name is Bobby Quinn (pictured below left) and he was a Scottish international athlete during the 1950s. As a sprinter he won 14 gold SAAA (Scottish Amateur Athletics Association) medals and several silver and bronze medals.

    "In 1954 he set a record for winning three gold medals in the one day for the relay and this record has never been equalled or bettered in 60 years. He is 85 now and still fit and well.

    "I nominated him to participate in the baton relay because of his great athletics career and also because after he stopped running he was an official for the SAAA.

    "He was on the organising committee for the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, which was done on a voluntary basis."

    The Queen's Baton paid homage to the Govan Fair, which dates back to the 14th century, earlier this afternoon.

    Govan Fair

    According to legend, the sheep's head dates back 258 years to the story of a drover who wanted to get married but was prevented by a minister, who said the wedding would take place over his dead body.

    The drover killed the biggest ram he could find and paraded it around.

    The ram's head was kept and it was paraded around the village each year in the weavers' procession at the Govan Fair.
