Paul Bush OBE, Chair of Commonwealth Games Scotland said: “With Scotland House now officially open, we will look forward to welcoming hundreds of athletes, friends, family and team supporters here over the duration of the Games. 

“As always, we have strived to make Scotland House a welcoming home from home for our team members, their friends, family and supporters. The team have done a fantastic job in bringing our brand to life; from the grand entrance to the tiny details, it all comes together to be incredibly impactful.
