On Saturday the 2012 Roadshow began its visit to Scotland, spreading the message that everybody in the UK can be part of the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.
Deputy Chairman of the London Organising Committee Keith Mills and Director of Communications Jackie Brock-Doyle were joined by Olympic Gold medallist Rhona Martin and leading athlete Lee McConnell on their visits to Edinburgh, Perth and Aberdeen.
In Edinburgh the Roadshow guests watched a top beach volleyball event in Princes Street Gardens. After the game Rhona and Lee had a go at trying out the sport for themselves.
After stopping off in Perth for children's sports activities, the bus continued on to Aberdeen with Patricia Ferguson, Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport in Scotland in attendance.
The Roadshow guests enjoyed a musical event on the beach front.
Keith Mills said: "There are great opportunities for people in Scotland to be involved in the 2012 Games, whether as spectators, volunteers, through business links or even as athletes."
On Sunday the Roadshow will visit Stirling and Glasgow.
