The Commonwealth Games mascot has met 600,000 people across the country in the last year, encouraging young people to get involved in sport.

Clyde, the giant green thistle, has also met the Duchess of Cambridge and Olympic athletes like Tom Daley, since he was unveiled last year.

He recently completed a two-week trip around Scotland, visiting 20 primary schools with former Scottish Commonwealth athletes David Carry and Susan Egelstaff.
