Scotland at the 2006 Commonwealth Games


Scotland competed at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia, from 15 to 26 March 2006.
The Commonwealth Games Council for Scotland announced on 3 November 2005 that Scotland would be sending 166 athletes to compete in the Games in Melbourne, supported by 70 officials. This was a smaller team than the country fielded at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, England, when Scotland sent 207 athletes and 85 officials.
The main team departed on 28 February 2006 from Glasgow Airport; they flew on Emirates, one of the team's main sponsors. Other sources of financial support included Clydesdale Bank, sportscotland, the Commonwealth Games Endowment fund, and the Scottish general public.
Despite the withdrawal of judo from the programme in 2006, the team proved greatly successful. Scotland achieved what was at that time its highest Gold medal total, a record it would later break in the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The team won 11 gold medals, 7 silver medals and 11 bronze medals.
