Team Scotland's presence in the Athletes' Village was boosted by the arrival of the Scotland 7s, wrestling and boxing teams in Delhi today.

The three sports were originally scheduled to leave Scotland last Thursday and would have been the first of the Scottish athletes to arrive in Delhi, but due to last week's concern over the readiness of the Village, Commonwealth Games Scotland took the difficult decision to reschedule their travel plans.

However, at 1100 hours local time athletes were welcomed to the Athletes' Village by Team Scotland Chef de Mission Jon Doig and members of the General Management Team.

They were given a quick tour of the Village before dining at the catering facilities and checking out their accommodation for the first time.

Andrew Turnbull, top try scorer for the Scotland 7s squad, said on his arrival: "We didn't come expecting five star accommodation. Our apartments are really nice and the food is good so we have no complaints."

The Scots go into the Games seeded eighth by the IRB and, on the first day of the 16-team tournament, will take on defending Games' champions and top seeds, New Zealand, World Series regulars Canada, and Caribbean champions Guyana, who this year competed in their first World Series event in Las Vegas.

The next Scottish athletes and officials to arrive in Delhi are the 27 members of Team Scotland's Swimming squad, who will fly in from a holding camp in Doha tomorrow (Thursday).
