Abstract
Glasgow, which will host the Commonwealth Games in 2014, is arguably one of the great historical centres of modern sport, not just in Scotland or the UK, but also the world. It is the historic centre of modern organised sports such as football, bowls and even shinty. Its reputation for sporting culture and its position at the heart of modern sports history reaches far and wide. Go in to the foyer of UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, and there is a large aerial photograph of Hampden during the 1960 European Cup Final between Real Madrid and Eintract Frankfurt (above) which continues to be remembered as one of the greatest matches of all time. Glasgow is an iconic sporting city. Its sporting culture has a special place in our cultural history and, therefore, in our cultural heritage.
