The name ‘Glasgow’ means ‘dear green place’
Scotland is a temperate country, with ideal conditions for the athletes to excel. Pleasantly warm during the summer months, with low rainfall and low humidity, competitors from every part of the world will find our city a spectacular home from home.

Our water comes from the natural lochs on the outskirts of the city and our air quality is excellent throughout the year.  With the world famous Loch Lomond and National Park only 20 minutes away, you can be out of the city and into the Scottish Highlands in no time at all.

Our initial Environment Assessment indicates a positive outcome from hosting the Games – particularly with the use of so much brownfield land for the new constructions.  We live in a country of extraordinary beauty and, as such, every plan takes account of our responsibilities to future generations.
