EAST Lothian's stars of the Commonwealth Games have returned home this afternoon (Tuesday). 

Members of the team  including East Lothian trio bowls star Deek Oliver, swimmer Dan Wallace and para-weightlifter Micky Yule - were piped off the plane after landing at Glasgow Airport, with crowds waiting at the arrivals gate to meet them. 

Team Scotland finished the Games, on Australia's Gold Coast, with 44 medals - the second highest tally in Commonwealth Games history, only behind Glasgow four years ago. 

That tally included an historic gold medal for bowls legend Alex 'Tattie' Marshall, who became the nation's most decorated Commonwealth Games athlete of all time in the process.

There was double gold success for another bowler, Cockenzie resident  Derek Oliver, while Dunbar para-athletics ace Maria Lyle took silver.

Swimming star Dan Wallace, who grew up in Dunbar and moved to North Berwick, also won bronze before announcing his retirement from the sport days before his 25th birthday.
