To mark ten years since the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, we are looking at some of the legacies of the event.

The Games were the largest multi-sport and cultural event ever held in Scotland.

They brought a feel-good factor to Glasgow and saw some of the world’s best sportspeople compete for medals.

Glasgow 2014 continues to have a positive impact on the city and the people who live here.

We have taken a closer look at some of the legacies of the Games.

These include:

  • Encouraging more people to get active and take part in sport.
  • The impact of new and refurbished sport venues.
  • Helping Glasgow to become a major events destination.
  • Kickstarting a new generation of volunteers.
  • Changing how culture is included in major events.
  • Activating the acclaimed People Make Glasgow city brand.
  • The growth in tourism since the Games.
