Commonwealth Games

The Queen’s Baton relay for the Commonwealth Games comes to Dundee tomorrow. It has already been to 70 nations and territories around the world and will be visiting all of Scotland’s local authorities. The baton will arrive in Dundee by boat and it is scheduled to begin its route through the city from Broughty Castle at 8am. It will make its way through all eight of Dundee’s multi-member electoral wards. There will be music and dancing in the City Square from 3pm, culminating in a Commonwealth Ceilidh at 5.30pm before the Baton arrives there at 6.45pm. Events will be taking place at various locations across the city to encourage people to take part in sporting activities.
