2. INTRODUCTION
Sport plays a central role in Scottish culture.
Scotland has its own sporting competitions and governing bodies,
such as the Camanachd Association, Scottish Football Association,
the Scottish Rugby Union, Cricket Scotland, and the Scottish
Cyclists' Union. The country has independent representation at many
international sporting events, for example the Football World Cup
and the Cricket World Cup, as well as the Commonwealth Games;
although notably not the Olympic Games.
3. Football codes
England v Scotland (1872)
4. Ever since the 19th century, the two main football codes in
Scotland are association football (which is more commonly referred
to as just "football" or "fitba") and rugby union, though the
former being significantly dominant since World War II. Some others
are also played.
The history of football in Scotland includes various traditional
ball games, for example the Ba game; some of these early games
probably involved the kicking of a ball.

6. Cricket
Cricket has a much lower profile in Scotland than it has south of
the border in England. Scotland is not one of the ten leading
cricketing nations which play Test matches, but the Scottish
national team is now allowed to play full One Day Internationals,
and takes part in the Cricket World Cup, in which Scotland reached
the final tournament in 2007. Scotland has a well established
recreational cricket structure. Scotland has co-hosted the 1999
Cricket World Cup along with England, Ireland and
Netherlands.

7. Golf
Scotland is the "Home of Golf", and is well-known for its many
links courses, including the Old Course at St Andrews, Carnoustie,
Muirfield and Royal Troon. The first record of golf being played
was at Leith Links in 1457.
Scotland is at the forefront of international golf, with some of
the world's premier courses being located there. The most famous
courses, such as St Andrews tend to be on the east coast's
dunelands, which are known in Lowland Scots as "links" - this word
has passed over into golf terminology as meaning a course. There
are also major courses at Gleneagles, Ayrshire, East Lothian and
Loch Lomond

8. Shinty
Shinty or camanachd is the traditional game of the Scottish
Highlands, although historically it hade a wider range. It is still
played widely across the area today, with clubs also based in
Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Fife and Perth, and in most
universities. Its governing body is the Camanachd Association (in
Scottish Gaelic, Comunn na Camanachd) who are based in Fort
William.
The sport's premier prize is the Scottish Cup, more popularly known
as the Camanachd Cup. Shinty also has the honour of having
provided, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the world's

formerly played through the Winter but has recently become a
primarily Summer game. It has common roots with the Irish sport of
