Brittiska samväldesspelen 1970 (engelska: IX British Commonwealth Games) hölls i Skottlands huvudstad Edinburgh mellan 16 och 25 juli 1970.[1] Det var första gången Skottland stod värd för spelen, och första gången Elizabeth II närvarade vid spelen i egenskap av Samväldets överhuvud.[2] Det var även första gången metersystemet användes för samtliga distanser och elektroniskt målfoto introducerades.[3][4]
Förberedelser
Omröstning
Skottlands kampanj för att få arrangera samväldesspelen började på allvar vid Commonwealth Games Federations möte i Melbourne i samband med olympiska sommarspelen 1956.[4] Det var dock först vid mötet under olympiska sommarspelen 1964 i Tokyo som Skottland tilldelades spelen 1970 efter en omröstning där de fick 18 röster mot Nya Zeelands 11.[5]
Ekonomi
Organisationskommitten för spelen ställdes inför problemet att det beräknades kosta 500 000 pund att genomföra arrangemanget, men den beräknade biljettförsäljningen förväntades enbart uppgå till 300 000 pund.[4] En fond med syfte att samla in 200 000 pund startades i början av december 1967.[6]
Sporter
Vid brittiska samväldesspelen 1970 tävlades det i 121 grenar i 10 sporter.[1] Bowls återinfördes på programmet efter att ha ställts in på grund av brist på lämpliga spelplatser 1966, och sportskytte togs bort.[7][8]

Flag of Jamaica.svg
Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
