Scotland sent a team of 259 athletes and 166 officials to the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, and won 51 medals (13 Gold, 11 Silver and 27 Bronze).

Lawn bowler Willie Wood is the first competitor to have competed in seven Commonwealth Games, from 1974 to 2002, missing 1986 because of a dispute over amateurism.

Membership of the CGCS consists of representatives of the governing bodies predominantly of sports in the Commonwealth Games programme although membership is open to wider organisations such as Scottish Disability Sport sharing CGS values: Scotland uses the St Andrew's Cross as its flag at the Commonwealth Games.

This flag is common for all sporting teams that represent Scotland as an entity distinct from the United Kingdom.

The shortlist of anthems also included "Scotland the Brave", "Loch Lomond" and "Highland Cathedral".
