0555: Good morning and welcome to day 21 of the Olympic torch relay. Today is the first part of an eight-day tour of Scotland, where the flame arrived last night.
A total of 128 torchbearers will carry their torches today on a journey of more than 138 miles from Stranraer to Glasgow and your text commentators for the first part of the day are Jane Mower and Ian Westbrook.
0558: Today's relay is starting in the centre of Stranraer alongside the Castle of St John, which is a medieval tower house. Built around 1500, it has been used as a home, local court, prison and military garrison.
We have been looking at pictures of the scene since around 05:45 BST and there are huge crowds of people already out in the town, despite the early hour. Priya Patel, our producer on the media vehicle, tells us it is one of the biggest early-morning crowds of the entire relay.
Bagpipes are playing and around the castle the crowd have been given lots of different coloured flags - and we have a shot of the day's first torchbearer.
0603: Kicking off the day is 6ft 5ins Ross Mcclelland who is in the British Army and returned from a seven-month tour of duty last year. He was 19 when he went to Afghanistan and was one of the first soldiers on scene when a friend had a leg blown off when he stepped on a bomb. Ross, an infantry soldier, also loves to run and is apparently one of the fastest in his company.
While he is waiting for the flame to arrive, he takes the time to pose for photos with lots of small children, many of whom have their own home-made torches.
0604: A tree is annoyingly blocking our view from #bbctorchcam but cheers from the crowd seem to indicate that Ross's torch is now alight!
0608: Ross starts off by walking his opening leg of the relay and taking in the scene which includes people standing three or four deep on a main shopping street, which has bunting hanging up above their heads. Then he breaks into a trot as we move into a different area of the town.
0611: Lucky Ross is getting to run a double stint of 600 metres with the torch. He is now on a coastal road in this town, which is best known as being a ferry port connecting Scotland with Northern Ireland.
0612: He passes the torch to Elizabeth Bowie, 62, also known as Doreen, who is the principal of Wallace School of Dance where there are 100 members aged from three to 27. She teaches her pupils gymnastics, tap and modern dance and her speciality and passion Highland Dancing.
0615: Running on the pavement alongside Elizabeth are a group of children with their homemade torches, one wearing a rather fetching crown. They manage to keep pace as she completes her stint and hands the flame on to Carol Harwood.
Among her spectators are a group of three tired-looking alsatian dogs, sitting by a house and looking as though they have only just woken up.
0617: To prove her point about the large crowds in Stranraer (see 0558) Priya Patel, our torch relay producer on the media vehicle, has sent this picture of the scene before the relay got under way this morning:
0622: Outside the main part of town, the crowds are much sparser with hardly anyone out along the current stretch. As a result only two security guards are flanking torchbearer John Mackay as he prepares to light the lantern right by a sign saying 'Welcome to Stranraer, please drive carefully'.
It seems the convoy of vehicles have obeyed that command and they leave the town with John alongside the road being interviewed by a TV crew.
0627: While we are on the road to Cairnryan, a quick guide to some of today's highlights. They include a tribute to Scottish poet and lyricist Robert Burns with a visit to his birthplace museum and Burns Cottage in Alloway.
Atonement star James McAvoy will carry the flame in his native Glasgow, as will Olympic rower Katherine Grainger and gold medal Winter Olympics curler Rhona Martin.
Scottish football's national stadium, Hampden Park, will also welcome the flame while an evening celebration will take place in the city's George Square.
0629: First torchbearer in Cairnryan is Harry Waugh, 67, who is a swimming coach and trained the person who nominated him to carry the torch so they could swim from Ailsa Craig to Girvan beach, which is about 11 miles but ended up being 17.5 miles due to adverse tides. In doing so they raised more than £13,000 for Alzheimer Scotland.
0632: What an amazing array of characters out on the streets now! As well as a school football team in their yellow kit, we have spotted Peppa Pig, Snow White, Hello Kitty, Winnie the Pooh, Mickey & Minnie Mouse, Scobby Doo and others.
Harry enjoys his walk with the torch, high-fiving various members of the public who have turned out to watch his big moment.
0635: Next up is Anne Barclay, who co-ordinates fundraising activities for Cancer Research UK in the Dumfries and Galloway area and has organised the Relay for Life Event for three years, raising £75,004 in one year alone.
No cartoon characters have turned out to watch her but she does get a good cheer from spectators as she sets off.
0643: BBC south-west Scotland reporter Willie Johnston tells 'Good Morning Scotland' that well over 1,000 people were in Stranraer to see the Olympic flame set off at just after 06:00 BST.
0645: Anne, also on a double stint of carrying the flame, takes it out of Cairnryan as she runs past the sign welcoming people to the town. And shortly after that the security team bring her the lantern which she lights as the relay goes back into convoy mode once again for the journey to Ballantrae.
0647: The flame arrived in Scotland by ferry from Larne in Northern Ireland on Thursday evening and was met by Scotland Office minister David Mundell and Shona Robison, the Scottish government's minister for Commonwealth Games and Sport.
Ms Robison said that from Cairnryan to Berwick, the relay route around Scotland had been chosen to touch as many people as possible, "taking in the country's most iconic places and showcasing the best of Scotland to an international audience.
"Scotland is already taking part in the Olympics, with eight world-class football matches at Hampden and playing host to pre-Games training camps," she said. "The torch's arrival is a prime opportunity to put Scotland on a world stage."
0650: On its official website, our next stop Ballantrae describes itself as "an attractive coastal village in Ayrshire".
0656: While you enjoy the scenery on this part of the journey, time to tell you about our new enhanced video service on this page.
We've just introduced a new player giving you the ability to pause and rewind the picture. There are two sessions each day, morning and afternoon. At the moment, you can only rewind to the beginning of the current session.
In the near future, you'll be able to go back further to previous sessions and in fact, to the first day of the torch relay on 19 May. This will allow you to see video from then, providing we didn't lose the 3G signal at the time and it was in fact streamed live.
Another new feature is that you can watch live video on your iPad and additionally, on your iPhone over the 3G network.
0703: We are a few minutes early into Ballantrae as netball and rugby coach Janine Spice restarts the relay. As she crosses the River Stinchar, she is greeted by a solitary piper.
0709: Una Rodgers seems to have enjoyed her stint as a torchbearer - her persona fan club of two women have followed her all the way with a 'Run Una Run' banner.
She hands over to Christopher Price, 20, who has hydrocephalus - water on the brain - which was caused by a brain tumour when he was a toddler. A keen runner he completed his first marathon in Edinburgh last year, raising £230 for charity and also took part in the first 'Rabbies Run' 10K in Ayr, in May 2011, finishing fourth.
0715: It is back into convoy mode now for the 20-minute trip to Girvan.
On our BBC London 2012 Facebook page, Abigail Munro says: "Good morning! It's a lovely way to wake up to watch the Olympic torch travel through my dads hometown of bonnie Scotland and to see the stunning views."
As well as contacting us via Facebook you can also tweet us at @BBC2012 email us at yourpics@bbc.co.uk or text us to 61124 (UK only).
We want to hear from you whether you are out on the relay route or watching via #bbctorch at home or abroad.
0718: Today's leg of the relay started shortly after 06:00 BST with Ross Mcclelland as the first torchbearer. He told BBC Scotland: "It was amazing. There was a lot more people than I was expecting because it's so early in the morning. As soon as I got off the bus, they all started cheering really loudly, and I started feeling nervous. I loved it."
0734: And it's into Girvan with keen sportswoman Bethany Parker the first to take the torch.
0739: Basketball player Ingeborg Borgen Takle, 31, now with the torch, has initiated training groups for wheelchair basketball and worked for the organisation Right to Play in Uganda.
0744: All the cameras are out to snap Inga's big moment as she takes her flame through the town. The relay seems to have brought out the locals here but the numbers have been mixed so far today after a superb start in Stranraer.
0746: Now it's the turn of Jenna Speirs, 17, who works to give children with cancer happy memories of holidays on the Isle of Bute with their families before they have to return to hospital for treatment.
0748: The relay moves through the town and there are crowds everywhere including in the spot where Stephen Grant, 61, takes over. He has been involved in the Boys Brigade and gymnastics coaching for more than 30 years.
0752: Next up is Deborah Millington, who set up the Terally Bay Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) group in 2008 where 90% of the original volunteers still work. The person who nominated Deborah, who has been fighting cancer, said riders both young and old benefit hugely from the RDA group which exists thanks to her "dedication and commitment and hard work".
0756: The lantern is lit and we are off for the nine-minute journey to Turnberry.
0800: Turnberry is famous for its golf. The town's par-70 Ailsa course has hosted golf's Open Championship four times - most recently in 2009, when Stewart Cink beat Tom Watson in a play-off and most famously in 1977, its first Open, when Watson won the famous 'Duel in the Sun' against Jack Nicklaus.
0804: Courtney Mccorkell gets the torchbearing under way in Turnberry. She is running alongside some fields alongside the sea and we have just been shown a shot of the island of Ailsa Craig in the distance.
0808: As Courtney, backed by some vociferous supporters at the end of her run, one waving a 'Go Courtney Go' banner, ends her leg, she hands over to keen runner Toni McIntosh, who lives up to her reputation by running every step of the way in her turn, even though it starts by going uphill.
0813: Back in the bus now and on the short journey to the fishing village of Maidens.
0815: And that was a very short journey! First up is Jari Patama, who has coached the local women's football team for many years along with his father.
0821: And now it's the turn of Graeme Strawhorn, 30, from Mauchline. He fundraises for the Ayrshire Hospice where he works as a volunteer.
0826: That's it for Maidens and it is time for another quick hop, this time to Kirkoswald, a village where poet Robert (Rabbie) Burns once went to school.
0829: Good to learn that #bbctorchcam is continuing to attract viewers from around the world.
On our BBC London 2012 Facebook page, Cee Mcc says: "Good evening from New Zealand - loving the excitement of all the folk and looking forward to seeing my proud nephew Conor carrying the torch in Ayrshire. Love to all in Bonnie Scotland x."
Judith Bummer writes: "I just want to say thank you for having this coverage. It's fascinating to watch the torch being carried, a part of an amazing history. Also, I love the fact I get to see so many parts of the UK's countryside, people, etc. I'm in the US and will never be able to afford to come there. This is an amazing oportunity for me to see such beautiful sites. Thank you!!!"
Closer to home, Brian Rowan says: "Fantastic. Lovely way to start my day. Watching the torch arrive in Ayrshire. Good luck to all the torchbearers as they carry the flame through our fantastic county."
Don't forget you can contact us via Facebook, Twitter at @BBC2012, email to yourpics@bbc.co.uk or text to 61124 (UK only).
0834: Mini drama on that last journey as the whole convoy took a wrong turn and started going down the wrong road. The mistake was quickly realised and the first couple of vehicles turned around. One of the police outriders slipped and fell off his bike as he turned but he was OK and got back on straight away.
The relay is still on time and is now in Kirkoswald.
0839: Maybole is the next stop - let's hope this 10-minute journey passes with incident.
0848: The relay has now arrived in Maybole, mentioned in the lyrics of 'Glastonbury Song' by Scottish band The Waterboys, where there will now be a 20-minute break.
0856: During this break, it gives me a chance to tell you some of the functionality of the site - especially if this is your first visit.
If the torch is still to visit your area and you want to find out when it will be there, scroll down to the search box below this live text and enter your postcode or town name. You will be presented with a list of the five days on which the relay comes closest to your front door.
On the day you plan to watch the relay, use the map on the left-hand side to find out the weather and travel news. Hover over the name of the town or village you are visiting and a snapshot weather forecast comes up. Click on the More Detail tab for a full five-day forecast for that place.
Below the map are live travel alerts. Again hover over the update for details and click through for more comprehensive information.
0858: I also have time to tell you about our new enhanced video service on this page.
We've just introduced a new player giving you the ability to pause and rewind the picture. There are two sessions each day, morning and afternoon. At the moment, you can only rewind to the beginning of the current session. To use the rewind facility, just pull the slider back to the spot from where you want to view. To return to the live coverage, move the slider back right as far as it will go.
In the near future, you'll be able to go back further to previous sessions and in fact, to the first day of the torch relay on 19 May. This will allow you to see video from then, providing we didn't lose the 3G signal at the time and it was in fact streamed live.
Another new feature is that you can watch live video on your iPad and additionally, on your iPhone over the 3G network.
Christie Nant tweets: "On my way to Robert Burns' cottage to watch the Olympic torch go past... historic place for a historic moment :)!"
0907: And we're back again with 12-year-old Ryan Speirs in Maybole. He is a big fan of the Olympics and key player in his school football team - and he gets a huge reception as he sets off.
0910: A lot of hard work had clearly gone into making this banner by pupils of Invergarven School in Girvan:
0915: Next up is Callum O'Donnell, who is a two time British Youth Champion at fencing and trains youngsters in the sport.
0923: And back in the truck once again for another convoy trip - this time to Alloway.
0927: Alloway is all about Robert (Rabbie) Burns. The poet was born there and set his poem 'Tam o' Shanter' there and it is home to the Burns Museum, where the convoy will briefly stop for a photo opportunity. There will be another photo taken outside the Burns Cottage before the relay leaves the Ayr suburb.
0929: And we have our first relay rain of the day - thick drops on the windscreen of the media vehicle and the sky has just gone very dark indeed.
0935: Into Alloway now with William Beattie the first torchbearer.
0937: If you've only just joined us, welcome but where have you been? The torch has been on the move for nearly four hours already today! In case you haven't been with us for much of the day, see what you have missed so far in our photo gallery of the day.
0940: We are now moving close to the car park of the Burns Museum where the Olympic flame now passes to Kirsty Kane, 17, who has cerebral palsy and has used a wheelchair for most of her life which she has spent in care. However, since being fostered by John and Sue McMenemy her strength has improved and her dependence on a wheelchair has decreased.
She now helps lead a Girls Brigade group, does Karate and plays a musical instrument. She also completed the Duke Of Edinburgh Award expedition with the help of an electric trike.
A group of the healthy-sized crowd chant Kirsty's name and cheer as she prepares to set off.
0945: From BBC Scotland's Willie Johnston with the torch relay: "More huge crowds out in Alloway. The school kids are making an incredible noise. At Burns Museum now. I wonder what Rabbie would have made of it?"
The relay is now pausing at the museum for the photo opportunity I mentioned at 0927.
0948: Behind the shots of the crowd it looks we have missed the handover of the flame to Olympian Suzanne Otterson. The 38-year-old represented Great Britain in figure skating at the Winter Games in Albertville, France, in 1992. Now she coaches children of all ages in the sport to an international standard.
0955: John Donald, 54, now has the flame. He joined a gym for the first time in his life at age 50 and is now doing 10K runs and helped organise a run which raised more than £7,000 in sponsorship for a local hospice. He hands over to 20-year-old Ida Ahlbom - a gymnastics coach who also draws attention to children's eating disorders.
She has the honour of posing outside the Burns Cottage with her torch for a photo, which you will no doubt see later in our gallery and in tomorrow's papers.
0958: As we slip back into convoy mode for the very short journey to Ayr, time to tell you that the relay is back on the BBC Red Button this afternoon from 14:00 BST to 19:00 BST.
1000: And we arrive in Ayr, the very centre of Burns Country.
1004: Susann Bjerkrheim hands the flame over to Sasha Ratcliffe. Her first child, Dylan, was born with a rare type of congenital heart disease and had to undergo numerous operations. His brother Jack was born two years later and has severe developmental problems. But this hasn't stopped Sasha fundraising for Little Heart Matters and setting up the support group Spotty Zebras in her spare time.
Large groups of schoolchildren line the streets on both sides as Sasha jogs along.
1016: We are right in the centre of Ayr now with Kymberley Thomson, 29. She has organised two charity balls to fundraise for a local hospital and, through her efforts, has been able to buy a mobility chair for patients. She has also completed the 26-mile Moon Walk in Edinburgh in aid of Breast Cancer.
From BBC Scotland's Willie Johnston on the torch relay media vehicle: "Ayr is the town of honest men and bonnie lasses and it looks like they've all turned out for the torch. Quite unbelievable crowds."
1019: A band of young pipers and drummers greets the 'torch kiss' just over a bridge in the centre of the town as Peter Bratcher, 31, takes the flame. He has been a member of the 62nd Fife (Crossford) Scout Group since joining as a Beaver Scout at the age of six. He has been a Scout leader for more than 10 years and received the Queen's Scout Award in 1999.
1029: The people of Ayr showed good support to the torch and were out on the streets in good numbers. But now it's time for the children to go back to school and the adults to work as the cavalcade starts the 20-minute trip to Kilmarnock.
1033: Have you managed to get any Olympics tickets yet? If not then you have another chance in just over 25 minutes time at 11:00 BST when a batch of 43,000 contingency tickets goes on sale. Seats are available for the opening and closing ceremonies as well as athletics, swimming, football at Wembley, volleyball, table tennis and boxing.
Alison tweets: "Just had a wee hold of the Olympic torch. Feels like a giant cheese grater."
1045: We have now reached Kilmarnock, which has also played its part in the Robert Burns story as the poet's first book was published in the town. After around 25 minutes here the relay will stop for an early lunch.
After the break the relay will spend some more time in the town before moving on to Kilmaurs, Stewarton, Dunlop, Barrmill, Beith, Lochwinnoch, Kilmacolm, Port Glasgow, Rutherglen and then finally Glasgow,
1049: The torchbearing resumes with Jamie McCowan, 17, who was born with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy and uses a wheelchair. A keen boccia player, he trains with the GB boccia team and was part of the side who won the Disability Sport England 2010 junior championships and the Scottish Championships in 2011.
1055: Next up is David Coulter, 58, who has dedicated his life to the sport of Karate and is a 7th Dan. He took up the sport in 1969 and became a member of the GB team travelling all over the world competing in national, European and World championships.
In 1979 he started the Sakai Karate Club where he teaches children as young as four. He is also one of the Scottish Karate Team coaches.
BBC Scotland's Willie Johnston reports from the torch relay media vehicle: "Now we're in Kilmarnock, will the crowds here match those in Ayr?"
1100: A spectator plays what looks like a tabla drum in the crowd as 72-year-old Charlie (Charn) Bains takes his turn with the torch. He was nominated by his son who says: "My father is a pillar of the Asian community in Glasgow."
1105: Charlie has taken a long time on his leg - and it means they have had to give him another torch with more gas in it. His relatives are walking alongside him on the pavement carrying a homemade "Go Grandad" banner.
1117: BBC Scotland's Willie Johnston on the media vehicle: "Massive support for 14 year old Jemma Reekie who's taken over the relay. And despite the forecast it's still dry!"
1119: The last torchbearer before the break is Alan Jardine. He has Down's Syndrome and has won swimming medals at the special Olympics.
1123: Now it's time for lunch at the Ayrshire Athletics Arena. The relay is due to resume in around an hour's time. Just before the break started Alan took the torch for a quick run round the track.
1141: The stage is set for the evening celebrations in Glasgow's George Square.
The festivities are due to begin at 16:00 BST and will feature performances by Eliza Doolittle, Emeli Sande and General Fiasco.
1150: As the crew enjoys a well-earned break, time to tell you that the relay is back on the BBC Red Button this afternoon from 14:00 BST to 19:00 BST.
1200: One to watch out for later if you're a film buff. James McAvoy, 33, star of Atonement and The Last King of Scotland, is due to run with the flame through his native Glasgow at about 18:30 BST.
1205: First out of the blocks after lunch is Kenneth McLure from Irvine. He's being cheered by the crowds at the athletics track and schoolchildren sing as makes his way out of the facility.
Kenneth has competed in eight British Transplant Games, four with the Edinburgh team and two with the GB team. He underwent a kidney transplant 15 years ago and raises awareness for organ donation through sport, for which he was made an MBE.
1209: James Cuthbertson is blind and is running with his daughter Megan.
He lost his sight in an explosives accident while on duty as a captain in the Army. Since then he has completed various endurance challenges, including Ultramarithons and a Triathlon.
1215: It's a good turnout in Kilmarnock where Lisa Heenan has taken over the baton. Her supporters are out, cheering her name as she goes.
Lisa achieved her Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award in 2010 and last year she was chosen as a Duke of Edinburgh's Award Ambassador for Scotland. She also won the inaugural North Ayrshire Young Citizen of the Year award in recognition of her voluntary work in her local community and being a positive ambassador for her local area.
1217: "Well done Lisa" shouts one man as she hands over the relay to Helen Brown. Helen recently volunteered in Malawi where she helped to set up an HIV and Aids Clinic, as well as fund raising for orphans. She has also been awarded a Millennium Volunteer Award.
1219: The crowds are four or five deep as Helen makes her way through the centre of Kilmarnock, and bells can be heard ringing out.
1221: A huge cheer goes up for Ian Caird who was instrumental in starting volunteering at GE Caledonian and leads many activities including an annual Bike & Hike event which raises thousands for Diabetes UK. He has also taken part in cycling trips for Chernobyl Children's Lifeline charity and organised sponsored walks for a local children's cancer charity.
1222: Only a couple of brollies up, are they to stop the sunshine?
1224: Taking the uphill gradient in his stride, Ian hands over to a man who knows all about lighting the way. Issen Georges volunteers for the Electricians Without Borders association and helps to ensure villages in Nepal have electricity to light schools, health centres and homes.
Schoolchildren look as if they've been given time off lessons to cheer on the flame, and they're making the most of it.
1230: Marie McKnight said on Facebook: "As a Kilmarnock lassie it's a great day to see Kilmarnock finally placed on the map, to be part of the Olympics, makes me so happy to be Scottish, well done to all the runners, a day Scotland will not forget."
1236: Slightly ahead of time, the flame is back in the lantern and on the road to Kilmaurs.
1241: Born with Down's Syndrome and a major heart condition, the next torchbearer Andrew MacIntyre has worked hard to become a champion gymnast winning 50 medals including gold and silver at the Special Olympics. Andrew also volunteers as a gymnastics coach for young disabled people.
1245: Kilmaurs market place is dominated by a tolbooth which is more than 400 years old.
It served as meeting place for the good and the great and the magistrate, as a collection point for customs due, and as a place of imprisonment and punishment for people who misbehaved.
It is still known locally as the jougs after the iron neck ring and chain still attached to the external wall near the tower steps.
1247: Doing a twirl for the crowds is rugby fan Franck Pucheu who has his "team" running alongside.
1249: Kjell Lundstrom is the final torchbearer in the village, taking up the flame in the quaint market place.
1254: Now it's a short hop to Stewarton, known locally as the The Bonnet Toun due to its 400 years of bonnet making - so the town's Facebook page says.
1259: Margaret De Boer watching #bbctorchcam from Brisbane in Australia said on Facebook: "Looking forward to watching it go past Queens Park in Glasgow wher my late parents loved to take us as children. I am sure mum and dad are there in spirit watching the flame go through Glasgow."
1301: The flame is welcomed into the village with screams as the first torchbearer heads under a viaduct and past a group of schoolchildren with homemade torches.
1303: Steve Anderson has just been watching the relay in Kilmaurs and snapped a 'torch kiss' there:
1305: Ice hockey coach Iiro Maukonen, 24, who now has the torch, was rewarded for many years hard work coaching the local junior ice hockey team by being named junior of the coach of the year in 2010.
1308: Next stop is the village of Dunlop where it's 15C and dry...so the forecast says.
1314: One of only two runners in the village is Scott Jeffrey. He has Aspergers syndrome but has battled hard to achieve his sporting goals. After trying various sports he took to running and has since completed the Edinburgh Marathon.
1316: More from our BBC London 2012 Facebook page:
Margaret de Boer writes: "Watching on the internet from Brisbane, Australia. Looking forward to watching it go past Queens Park in Glasgow where my late parents loved to take us as children. I am sure Mum and Dad are there in spirit watching the flame go through Glasgow."
While Marie McKnight says: "As a Kilmarnock lassie it's a great day to see Kilmarnock finally placed on the map, to be part of the Olympics, makes me so happy to be Scottish, well done to all the runners, a day Scotland will not forget."
1318: We are now going into convoy from Dunlop to Barrmill.
1330: Mock torches and banners accompany Angela Oakley through the streets of Barrmill. We're told Angela has done lots of voluntary work at the same time as raising three children. She has also made East Dunbartonshire into a Fairtrade county. And she's veering across the road to wave at a big Chinese dragon while high-fiving spectators.
Nice job Barrmill!
1331: Angela passes the flame to Thomas Tracey who sets off with a more sedate pace after an enthusiastic handover kiss that nearly took out one of the grey-clad security team.
It may be grey in Ayrshire but there's a cacophony of colour on the streets. And the rain is staying at bay - for now!
1334: The flame is transferred back into a lantern for the short hop up the B706 to Beith. We're still a couple a minutes ahead of schedule - Angela made a cracking time with her leg!
1340: Eve Cushanaghan takes up the flame in Beith, with the crowds five- or six-strong on each side of the road.
1343: Torchbearer 74 is wheelchair-user Leo-Pekka Tahti, who carves big turns on his stint of the relay before being given a helping hand by one of the security team.
1347: And the crowd have broken out into a rendition of Camptown Races - perhaps with revised lyrics to bring the 1850 folk song up to date!
1348: This is Victoria O'reilly, a mental health worker from the Isle of Bute who has completed four ultra-marathons this year. Hence the speedy leg!
1353: It's another short convoy stint now to Lochwinnoch, which lies on the banks of Castle Semple Loch and the river Calder.
1400: First up with the flame in Lochwinnoch is Janice Hendrie, who has been coaching youngsters in the Inverclyde area since 1986 - devoting more than 15 hours a week working with young athletes.
1407: There are healthy crowds again in Lochwinnoch - with a pipe band and highland dancers to boot - as Natalie Still takes up the flame.
And there are healthy number following #bbctorchcam from all over the world. Thanks for all your facebook messages and tweets today. It's great to have you with us.
Hi to Sharon Gall who has got in touch on Facebook to say: "Wonderful live stream as the torch passed through Kilmarnock. I know a lot of effort has gone into ensuring as many people, including children, got bussed / escorted from school or let out of work to take part, and that huge concerted effort seems to have worked as the comment on how many schoolkids turned out and the crowds in the town centre testify. Fantastic. Well done to the runners, and yey to the organisers of the flame and locally."
1412: As torchbearer Vegard Sjursen takes a quick deviation to shake the hands of some well-wishers, there's time for us to say hi to Graham Thompson from Whitburn, who has tweeted: "Great to see the Torch in Scotland, enjoying the views from Kilmarnock to Glasgow, welcome to Scotland #BBCtorchcam crew! @BBC2012"
You can get in touch with us at any time - send an e-mail to yourpics@bbc.co.uk text 61124, UK only, and tweet us at @BBC2012 or visit our facebook page. We'll publish your messages on this page where whenever possible.
1418: The torch is now making its way along the B786 to Kimacolm. Your commentators for the rest of the day are Michael Hirst and Sarah Holt. Greetings!
We would love you to get in touch with us to tell us if you have seen the torch yet today, if you are planning to see it or if your plans for the day have been changed as a result of the relay.
1422: Hello to Christine Garbett who has facebooked us to say: "Watching from Florida and just saw the torch in Lochwinnoch, not far from where we lived in Johnstone, played bowls in Lochwinnoch Indoor when it was in existence, lovely to see it all again, sorry it seems to be raining."
Thanks for joining us, Christine. Hopefully the rain - and the 3G gremlins intermittently mucking with our TV signal - will hold off!
1431: First with the torch on the outskirts of Kimalcolm is Anshul Sharma, 33, an executive member of the Ethnic Minority Forum in East Dunbartonshire, which aims to help integration within the ethnic minority - the extent to which his work is appreciated locally is shown by the fact his nomination was signed by 42 people.
1433: This is Allanah Mcready, who was born with a complex congenital condition, and battled against a very bleak prognosis. We're told she walked when she shouldn't have walked, talked when she shouldn't have talked and now she is running with the Olympic flame.
Allannah is a successful member of a local disability swimming club, winning four gold medals at the national championships.
There's a good turnout in Kimalcom, with the pupils from St Columba School looking very smart in their green blazers.
1441: Short hop up the A761 in convoy mode now to Port Glasgow.
1443: While we're in convoy, you can catch all this afternoon's action live on the BBC's red button service until 1900. Check this page to see where coverage is listed.
1445: Kelsey Fleming, 13, from Dumbarton, takes up the flame in Port Glasgow.
She has represented Dumbarton Academy and her primary school in the cross country championships and done the 5K Race-for-Life twice, raising hundreds of pounds for breast cancer charities.
Kelsey has participated in Irish Dancing for nearly nine years and has picked up hundreds of medals and trophies along the way.
1454: This is Ryan McLaughlin, 17, and the person who nominated him says he is leading the worldwide war against multiple sclerosis.
He has won many awards including a Pride of Britain award, and his own passion is taekwondo, in which his mother was a European champion before being struck down by MS. Ryan currently holds several titles including world champion, European champion and five-times Scottish champion.
1459: A longer convoy stint now as the Olympic flame makes its way to Rutherglen, where it's due to arrive around 1530.
1512: Hello to Mary Galbraith, who has just tweeted: "Meal do naidheachd gu Sgoil @GlasgowGaelic - performing tonight in George Square for #torchrelay #olympics #bbctorchcam @BBC2012"
Hope it stays fine for the show! To check weather conditions where the torch is going, hover over the green dots on the maps to the left of this box to see the forecast for the next three days.
1532: With bunting hanging from the barricades and a screaming crowd several-deep lining the roadside, Steven Hynd takes up the torch in Rutherglen.
He is nominated for his hard work at Aberlour Children's Home in Kingseat, whichprovides short breaks and respite for families who have children with learning disabilities.
1536: Specks of rain are falling on #bbctorchcam, and the brollies and raincoats are out, but it's a colourful and cheery scene in Rutherglen.
1539: Mary Finlay, 66, from East Kilbride, is a wheelchair-user with MS. And check out the saltire on those wheels! Her husband, who is walking with her, nominated her to be a torchbearer saying she is well known in their sheltered housing complex as being a cheery person who is an inspiration to the other residents and is much valued as a friend and confidant.
1547: As pink-haired Janice Eaglesham carries the flame, thanks again for your messages. Srikripa tweets: "The torch! In Glasgow... #ohsoexcited the live feed on BBC is pure awesomeness!.. #cheers @bbc2012"
niceguyali, meanwhile, tweets: "Quite fascinating watching @bbc2012 #bbctorchcam as it speeds along the M8. A familiar journey except I'm normally stuck in traffic. :-)"
And anonymous tweets: "@BBC2012 thank you to all that attended the Lochwinnoch Torch Relay the Turnout was great and everyone had a great time thank you very much."
Thanks for joining the #bbctorchcam coverage!
1548: Ken Davis is a teacher at Bearsden Academy where he taught Katherine Grainger long before she became a three-time Olympic silver medallist.
Katherine, who nominated him, says: "He was such an inspirational teacher and the things I learned in karate with him helped me develop hugely as a person - from him having a huge amount of faith in me at a stage when I didn't yet have that in myself, to teaching me about dedication, focus and achieving my goal while still having fun.
"He does such a lot for the local community, all in his own time, that it would be great for him to carry the Torch next year when it makes its journey around the UK."
1553: Woah there Glasgow traffic! Ken darts off the road for what looks like a quick photo op outside Torryglen Football Centre.
1559: While we're waiting for the Olympic flame to come back into shot - hopefully in the ahnds of Olympian Katherine Grainger, thanks to Lee Burkinsaw for his tweet: "@BBC2012 What an amazing and humbling feeling it must be carrying the torch great coverage thank BBC2012"
And also to sx2stephy who tweets: "Cant stop watching, work can wait, once in a lifetime @bbc2012 #bbctorchcam #olympictorchscotland"
1604: The Relay has halted for special event at Torryglen football centre hosted by an enthusiastic Bryan Burnett of BBC Radio Scotland. We're expecting Glasgow-born Katherine Grainger to take up the flame.
She is Britain's most successful female rower, winning three Olympic silvers in the quadruple sculls to add to her four world championships gold medals. She is contesting the double sculls at the London Games. When not in a boat, the 36-year-old watches whodunnits to help her study for a PhD in homicide!
1611: While we're waiting to get back on the road, super-skilled cyclist Danny MacAskill is counting down to his leg of the Olympic torch relay in front of the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow at around 17:45.
The Isle of Skye man has posted this teaser on Facebook: "You can watch me try and do some skids and wheelies with the torch. Hope I don't set my sweet white trackies on fire!!!!"
He posted earlier: "Really excited to be carrying the Olympic torch. They are even letting me carry it with my bike..."
1616: Rachel Alison has issued this warning for one of the torchbearers in Glasgow on twitter: "The #Olympic torch will be going past my alma mater @GlasgowUni today. Wonder if the runner will curse, as I did, that it's built on a hill."
1620: This just in from the BBC's Priya Patel who is travelling with #bbctorchcam: Chariots of fire is playing... the perfect inspiration for torchbearers about to head up Glasgow's hills!
1621: If you're in Glasgow and about to head out to see the torch, or were out on the relay route earlier in the day, tweet your pics to @BBC2012 and we'll post them here.
1626: Up now is Karen Woodrow. She was handed the flame out of shot by Scotland's wheelchair rugby captain Michael Kerr.
A man more familiar with handling a wheelchair rugby ball - which is a bit like a volleyball - than a torch is, the 29-year-old Glaswegian will be representing Great Britain in the London Paralympics in the sport which has the rather menacing nickname "murderball."
1631: Appropriately enough on the day the Euro 2012 tournaments kicks off, the Olympic flame has arrived at the home of Scotland's national football side, Hampden Park. And from inside the stadium, we can hear the torch relay being enthusiastically welcomed over the tannoy.
1646: By the way, Hampden Park will be hosting eight football matches during the Olympic Games this summer, including one of the women's quarter-finals.
1652: Thanks to Ewan Petrie for posting this photo on Twitter of the scene in George Square, where this evening's celebration will be staged.
1654: The flame is on the move again through the streets of Glasgow, this time in the hands of Ian Mirfin. Balloon-waving, ribbon-twirling and flag-swirling greet Ian as he makes his way past the spectators.
1658: The flame is passed to Brian McQuade, who holds the torch above his head. Brian decided to pull himself out of alcohol addiction by studying for a degree in classical studies. Now the 61-year-old hosts his own art show on a local community radio station and is writing his second book on the arts.
Brian's nominees - the GalGael Trust, who build wooden ships - said they would be happy to row Brian and his torch up the River Clyde on a Hebridean Galley Ship but he has to make do with dry land.
1701: Next up on the torch relay is 18-year-old Gail Thompson, who appears to have had some innovative fundraising ideas for her class-mates over the years, including going to school in pyjamas and making the boys wear aprons while serving tea and cake. Good work Gail!
1707: A big smile from our next torchbearer, Vickie Beesley as she starts her leg. We're not surprised as she is being supported by a huge "Go Vickie Go" banner. The former student of the Royal Scottish Conservatoire in Glasgow, now uses her theatre and dance skills in her work with refugees and asylum seekers.
1711: Thanks to Susan Wadsworth for sending in this photo of the torch passing her house in Dunlop earlier today.
1712: A burst of bagpipes for John Hall as he completes his leg of the relay and hands the flame on to James Robinson. John is a former patient of the New Horizons rehabilitation programme in Glasgow who now coaches the centre's football team.
1718: Time to put the notebook away for the next torchbearer, Jose Luis Mattos. He's part of the organising team for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. He's responding to a lively crowd with some fist pumps and whirling of his arms.
1721: Wow! The crowds are out in Giffnock and making themselves heard as Rebecca Morris tours the torch past the throng on both sides. Where's the volume control on these headphones?... Seriously loud!
1727: A man with a microphone - yes, we saw you scurry out of the way on #torchcam - announces "here comes the torch" as, on cue, bearer Gillian Boyle slows to walking pace. A local choir are now serenading the flame before Victoria Fraser-Mitchell begins her leg of the relay.
1734: The flame is back in convoy mode having a little breather after those lively scenes. Some lively scenes here at Torch Relay HQ too as a slice of strawberry and cream cake has been unveiled.
1738: Willie Johnston has sent in this photo of the packed crowds for the flame's handover in Kilmarnock Road. He also reports: "The crowd is cheering and whooping and letting off party poppers. It 's absolutely deafening."
1746: Remember, you can catch all this afternoon's action live on the BBC's red button service until 1900. Check this page to see where coverage is listed.
1754: Next up with the torch will be super-skilled urban cyclist and YouTube sensation Danny MacAskill, who is waiting to carry the torch past the Kelvingrove Museum and Art gallery in Argyle Street.
1756: As promised Danny does a wheelie as he carries the torch one-handed whilst simultaneously riding his bike in front of the beautiful 1901 brown-brick building. In a flash, Danny is off out of the square and he cycles down the road on one wheel with the torch aflame. He's giving the torch security team a bit of a workout here.
1758: Elaine Green is the next torchbearer and the 59-year-old's nominee says she has never let multiple sclerosis stop her working or continue her involvement in coaching athletes.
1803: Next up with the torch is East Kilbride's Diane Gillan, who has Crohn's disease. She's also represented Great Britain at the Special Olympic European Games in 2010, where she won a gold and two silver badminton medals to add to her haul of 25 medals.
1806: There's plenty of support for Diane, who hasn't stopped smiling all the way along her leg, including a banner with the slogan "Golden Girl!"
1809: Crowds flank fireman Craig Hannah on either side as he picks up the Olympic flame. Craig has been nominated to carry a torch because of his work helping young people develop their musical talents, organising local music festivals, running marathons and competing in triathlons for charity and working with the Scottish ambulance service as a volunteer.
1811: Thankfully, firefighter Craig was able to curb his instincts to put out the flame on his leg and he has safely passed it on to Pauline Walmsley, who is serenaded during her leg by a barbershop quartet version of Michael Jackson's Beat It and a burst from another band as she goes past Glasgow University.
1814: Make way for a group of pupils from St Maurice School, who will take it in turns to carry the Olympic flame. Those pupils include Louise Docherty, Morgan Robson, Rhona Waters, Gemma Green, James Hinshelwood, Jordan Carr, Jamie Wilson, Luke Martin, Elizabeth Jennings and Declan Mclaughlin.
1818: KK has tweeted us to prove there is such a thing as multi-tasking and boy, do we need it in this summer of sport: "Quick break in proceedings at half time to go watch the Olympic torch run by the pub I'm watching Poland v Greece in! #bbctorchcam @bbc2012"
1823: Next up with the torch is a man who will be very busy this summer, Gao Dianmin. He's reported on the Olympic Games since 1984 where his native China won its first gold medal in the shooting competition. Before he starts his leg, he has a man-hug from the last bearer Siegfried Putzer.
1828: Let's hope Gao can pass on some travel tips to the next carrier, Jordan Shane. The 21-year-old is planning to walk the Great Wall of China in aid of Marie Curie after surviving cancer.
Thanks to Michelle from Canada who is reminiscing over Twitter: "Tuned in from Victoria, BC, Canada! I remember the spirit from the Vancouver Olympics two years ago... And it's back! @bbc2012 #bbctorchcam"
1834: In case you missed it earlier, trails cyclist Danny MacAskill pleased the crowds by pulling a wheelie as he carried the torch on his bike through Glasgow.
1836: Time to swap the curling broom for an Olympic torch for gold medallist Rhona Martin, who is due to carry the torch in the pedestrianised section. Do you remember where you were when she skippered Great Britain to a surprise curling gold at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City? The 45-year-old Ayrshire athlete was the star of one of the winter Olympics most iconic moments.
1837: There's another famous face carrying the torch now as the Olympic flame gets some Hollywood treatment in the hands of the next torchbearer, a bearded James McAvoy.
If you're wondering where you might have seen him on the big screen think Mr Tumnus in the Chronicles of Narnia, Charles Xavier in X-Men and Dr Nicholas Garrigan in critical hit The Last King of Scotland.
Leaving all that behind, McAvoy is coming back to his roots to carry the torch as he was born in Port Glasgow and later lived with his grandparents in Drumchapel. Cue cheers from the crowd.
1839: James looks like he's enjoying his moment. He even tries to hand the Olympic flame to a small child watching in the crowd, before deciding against it. We're no lip-readers but we think he's surprised to find himself bathed in sunshine on a Friday evening in Glasgow.
1844: After then chatting to someone on a mobile phone handed to him from the crowd - presumably a fan - he's up and running again as he carries the Olympic flame to the next man up Desmond Clarke. James McAvoy has one last chat to a few spectators before jumping on the relay convoy bus.
1848: Julie McElroy is the latest torch bearer through the streets of Glasgow. Julie has cerebral palsy and is deaf but continues to lead an active life, her many achievements include crossing the Andes mountain range and climbing Ben Nevis to raise money for charity.
1853: There are just three torchbearers to go in Glasgow this evening. Swimmer Alice Nicol passes the Olympic flame on to 17-year-old Evana Lynas, who recently gained a seat as a member of the Scottish Youth Parliament.
1855: Auchinleck's Ross Morrison is the last man to carry the Olympic flame and he enters George Square to the soundtrack of Charity of Fire.
1857: The pictures we are seeing now on the livestream are from a different camera position in the square and we have, to bring you these scenes, left #bbctorchcam.
Ross has lit the cauldron on stage in George Square and the 18-year-old says the experience of running with the torch and lighting the cauldron was "absolutely amazing". Ross said he was nominated to be a future flame because he's a carer for his parents and runs an after-school basketball club.
1902: Thanks to Wepp, who has got in touch via Twitter: "@BBC2012 Watching #bbcTorchCam live from Texas. Love to see the Glaswegians out in force to celebrate! #inspired @2Torchbearers"
1905: On stage now is Olympic lightweight boxer Dick McTaggart, who won gold at Melbourne 1956 and bronze in 1960 - when he was pipped to gold by none other than Muhammad Ali.
He says he's looking forward to watching all the events at London 2012 - saying home support will help British athletes perform better. Here's hoping!
1910: And with the dulcet strains of Freddy Mercury in the background - Don't stop me now! - we're going to get our dancing shoes on and close down today's live coverage.
Thanks for joining us. It's great receiving your messages and tweets of support for the Olympic flame as it makes its way around the UK.
Tomorrow the torch relay visits Loch Ness as it wends its way from Glasgow towards Inverness. Here's hoping it doesn't come across any monsters...
See you then!
