BOWLING legend Alex 'Tattie' Marshall was recognised at the Team Scotland Awards on Thursday as he was presented a lifetime achievement award.
Earlier this year, the Tranent resident became Scotland's most successful Commonwealth Games athlete ever as he won a record fifth gold medal in the Gold Coast, Australia.
The Garden County star said: "It just means so much to me. I'll treasure this for the rest of my life."

The 51-year-old was awarded the lifetime achievement award in recognition of an outstanding career.
A Scottish international since 1987, Gold Coast was an incredible sixth Games appearance for Team Scotland.
He also holds the record for the most World titles with 20, beginning with three gold medals at the 1992 World Outdoor Championships and continuing all the way through to a record sixth World Indoor Singles title in 2015.
