With 13 medals between them, Alex 'Tattie' Marshall and Paul Foster lead the Scotland bowls team for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this summer.
The vastly experienced duo will link up in the men's pairs event, which they won at Glasgow 2014.
Marshall, who has seven Commonwealth Games medals in his collection, said of his eighth selection: "It is always such an honour and privilege to be selected to represent Team Scotland at the Commonwealth Games.
"To have another opportunity to be a part of a home Games is also not lost on me, and I know that Paul and I will give it our very best to try and win a medal for the team."
Marshall's niece Beth Riva, who won 2025 World Championship mixed pairs gold with Jason Banks last year, joins Caroline Brown in the women's pairs.
Banks will make his Team Scotland debut in the singles event.
Bowls Scotland announced the host nation's squad on Tuesday, with the Commonwealth Games bowls events running from 24 July to 2 August.
For the first time in Commonwealth Games history, all of the bowls and para bowls events will be played indoors, taking place at the SEC Centre.
In the para team, Pauline Wilson, Garry Brown, Robert Barr and his director Sarah Jane Ewing are all aiming for repeat golds after topping the podium at Birmingham 2022.
