Team Scotland finished with 39 medals at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, including 13 golds, making it their third-most successful Games on record and an improvement on their showing in Birmingham four years ago. The result matters because it was Scotland's second home Games in 12 years, and analysts note that accounting for a smaller team and fewer available medals overall, the achievement represents genuine progress rather than simply a home-advantage boost.

Scotland's tally of 13 golds, nine silvers and 17 bronzes placed them fifth in the medal table, one place higher than in Birmingham, with a medal won for every 4.54 competitors compared with 5.30 four years ago. Medals came from eight of ten disciplines, with only netball and Para-powerlifting missing out, while athletics enjoyed its best haul in 44 years, gymnastics claimed a first-ever men's all-around gold, and Para-sport achieved an all-time best of 14 medals; 20 medals went to men, 17 to women, and two to mixed teams.
