QUIRKY WORLD ... Mystery mascot unearthed in Scotland

SCOTLAND: A mascot from the first Commonwealth Games held in Scotland almost half a century ago has been uncovered.

A new exhibition being held to chart more than 80 years of Scotland’s involvement in the Commonwealth Games has unearthed a previously unknown character from the 1970 Games which took place in Edinburgh.

The exhibition, curated by the University of Stirling archives, started a tour of Scotland earlier this year and has seen its contents grow as members of the public donate their own memorabilia.
