Former Scottish hockey player Rhona Simpson, swimmer Ross Muir and long jumper Jade Nimmo were given a first glimpse of what the 6,500 athletes and officials coming to Scotland in two years' time will be calling home.
Designed with input from athletes, the village will be right on the doorstep of Celtic Park, the location for the Opening Ceremony on 23 July 2014, as well as the new Commonwealth Arena and the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, which will both open later this year.
After the Games, the site in Dalmarnock will bring a legacy of 700 new homes and 620 jobs to the city.
Simpson, Scotland's most-capped hockey player, said: "With the eyes of the sporting world firmly on London 2012, I'm incredibly proud to be marking this particular milestone at Glasgow 2014’s Athletes' Village. The excitement being generated by the Olympic Games will only increase the anticipation and desire the people of Glasgow and Scotland have to welcome the athletes of the Commonwealth back to the UK in two years' time.
"The development is still in construction but with two years to go until the Games, it's fantastic to witness how well the Village is progressing and to learn more about the venue that will be home to the athletes in 2014."
The site is being developed by the City Legacy Consortium which includes CCG, Cruden, Mactaggart & Mickel and WH Malcolm each of whom have decades of experience of creating jobs in Glasgow.
