Are we entering into a golden age of Scottish swimming?

Michael Jamieson put a shine to Team GB's rush of medals with an impressive silver in the men's 200m breaststroke final.

The Rutherglen born swimmer delivered the performance of a lifetime to claim his medal, only being pipped to the gold by Hungarian Daniel Gyurta who produced a world record time of 2:07.28 to beat the Scot.

In what was a thrilling race, Jamieson was cheered on by an ecstatic London crowd with the excitement only matched in Glasgow by the 23-year-old's ecstatic family.

Jamieson's achievement capped a memorable display by Scottish swimmer at the Olympic games with Hannah Miley, Robbie Renwick and David Carey all reaching the finals of their disciplines.
