3. European Champions
Celtic fans stormed the field at the Estadio Nacional in Lisbon to celebrate their side's 2-1 victory over Inter Milan in 1967 and started kissing the pitch, doing the highland fling and cutting bits of the grass out. It was understandable. Celtic became the first British team and first and only Scottish team to win the European Cup. They did it with a side fashioned by Jock Stein out of players brought up within a 30-mile radius of Parkhead and exposed for the first time the weaknesses of catenaccio (door bolt, or defensive) football. — Michael Brown
4. Chariots of Fire
Eric Liddell's feats at the 1924 Paris Olympics were famously captured in the film Chariots of Fire, complete with sand-splattered white gym gear and Vangelis' Academy Award-winning synthesizer score. He refused to run in the heats of the 100m due to his religious beliefs (they were held on a Sunday) but won the 400m. News of Liddell's death to a brain tumour, aged 43, prompted The Guardian to 'eulogise' he was "probably the ugliest runner who ever won an Olympic championship ... his huge sprawling stride, his head thrown back and his arms clawing the air moved the Americans and other sophisticated experts to ribald laughter". His triumph stopped that. — Andrew Alderson
5. The fastest man on Earth
Russian bureaucracy saw the two favourites at the 1980 Moscow Olympics - Allan 'Wipper' Wells and Silvio Leonard of Cuba - put in lanes eight and one respectively. Wells, a notorious hater of starting blocks, was forced to use them in Moscow and didn't get the start he wanted. But he roared into top gear by 80m and used his well-practised dip to win in a photo finish. Good job, too. He had a rather fearsome wife who wouldn't have been happy with her man taking silver. — Gregor Paul
6. About a Hoy
Sir Chris Hoy first got into riding because of the movie ET - he was fascinated by the BMX bikes ridden in the movie - and his feats have often been described as out of this world. With three gold medals in Beijing in 2008 (team sprint, individual sprint, keirin), he became Scotland's most successful Olympian, the first British athlete to win three golds in a single Olympics since 1908 and the most successful Olympic cyclist of all time. He added two more golds in London in 2012 to end his career with six gold medals. — Michael Brown
7. Curl power
Skipper Rhona Martin clinched the Winter Olympics title for Britain 4-3 over Switzerland at Salt Lake City in 2002 with the last stone on the final end as six million Brits watched on TV. It was Britain's first Winter Olympics triumph since Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean figure skated to glory in 1984. Crash barriers were erected to control fans for their arrival at Heathrow and they stayed at Claridge's before collecting their MBEs. A projected Hollywood film never eventuated but they got invited into the Royal Box at Wimbledon. — Andrew Alderson
8. Flying Scotsman
Even at the age of 75, Jackie Stewart, with his ubiquitous tartan flat cap, is still one of the most revered figures at a Formula 1 racetrack. He had won three F1 world championships before retiring (aged 34) in 1973 but his greatest legacy was an unflagging - and often unpopular - commitment to improving the safety of the sport. Stewart was the outspoken advocate of a campaign that even saw drivers boycott some races at circuits seen as death traps. — Michael Burgess
9. Introducing the world to golf
What a legacy, stretching to the 15th century. Some might consider each round a good walk spoiled but it beats sitting behind a desk. This week - or to be specific September 18 because the Royal and Ancient Golf Club has held its autumn meeting on the same day since 1783 - St Andrew's got with the programme by granting its own 'yes' vote to women members. Now the last two of the other five Open hosts in Scotland, Muirfield and Royal Troon, need to make par by introducing birdies. — Andrew Alderson
10. Enacting the Highland Games
They are said to have influenced Baron Pierre de Coubertin when he was creating his modern Olympic model. Who wouldn't be transfixed by this kaleidoscope of tartan, caber and hay sheaf tossing, bagpiping and drumming? The brand has been propagated elsewhere, including New Zealand's own Waipu where, in 2010, a 15-year-old Siositina Hakeai stuck a pitchfork into half a bale of hay and threw it over an 8m high bar as though she was flicking tea leaves off a spoon. No wonder she went on to represent New Zealand in the discus at this year's Commonwealth Games. — Andrew Alderson
