50 Days to go to the Commonwealth Games

Excitement is rising here in Glasgow as we approach 50 days to go until the 2014 Commonwealth Games kick off.

The "Big G" in George Square

The recently installed "Big G" has been drawing a lot of attention from locals and visitors alike and as the opening ceremony at Celtic Park nears, we are beginning to feel the buzz of the Games.

The Kelvingrove Bandstand after its £2.1m upgrade

A lot has happened in the run-up to the Games, including the re-cobbling of Ashton Lane and some major refurbishment and improvement taking place in Kelvingrove Park; none more so than the recently opened bandstand.

The new bandstand will be hosting a great lineup of artists this summer.

We hope you have arranged your travel and accommodation for the Games as we hear Glasgow is pretty full up. But wherever you have found to rest your head, we hope you're feeling the excitement like we are.

Roll on the Games!
