Meanwhile, Culture Secretary Angus Robertson has sent a message of support from the Scottish Government to athletes representing Scotland at the Commonwealth Games.
Mr Robertson, who will be attending events at the Games next week, said he hoped Team Scotland would find inspiration from their record success at the Commonwealth Games held in Glasgow in 2014.
"Scotland is fully behind all those representing our country at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and I want to offer my best wishes to competitors from across the Commonwealth taking part in this year's games," he said.
"The 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow was a superb, inspiring and enriching event for us all and I hope that many of the athletes competing in Birmingham will draw on that inspiration, including inspiring those Scottish athletes to bring medals home."
North East swimmer Neah Evans has also got herself a bronze medal in the Women’s 3000m Individual Pursuit.
Chair of sportscotland, Mel Young, said ‘’What a brilliant medal win by Neah Evans where she takes home the Bronze.
"She has put in an incredible amount of effort into preparing for these games and after a tough race, Neah has shown she can deliver when it counts.
"It is another fantastic moment for Neah and everyone connected with Scottish Cycling.’’
