The success of Scotland's Olympians will be celebrated at a special homecoming event.

Plans are in place to mark the achievements of medal winners including Andy Murray, Katherine Grainger and Callum Skinner next month.

National agency sportscotland has announced plans for the event, which will take place at the new Oriam sports performance facility in Edinburgh on Wednesday, September 28.

Similar events were held after the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics with parades in Glasgow and Edinburgh to celebrate a record medal haul for Scottish athletes.

However, there will be no street parades as part of the celebrations this year.

Rio 2016 has been the most successful "away Olympics" for Scottish competitors, with 12 medals won so far.

Scots won 13 medals at London 2012 but the previous record at an overseas games was seven at Sydney 2000.

Andy Murray was the fourth Scot to win gold after cyclists Skinner and Katie Archibald and rower Heather Stanning.

Skinner also claimed a silver medal, as did rowers Polly Swann and Karen Bennett, canoeist David Florence and rugby players Mark Bennett and Mark Robertson.

Rower Grainger's silver briefly made her Britain's most decorated female Olympian before she was overtaken by cyclist Laura Trott.

Swimmer Duncan Scott won two silver medals in relay races, the first coming with fellow Scots Stephen Milne and Dan Wallace. Sally Conway took bronze in judo.

All of the Scottish Olympians and Paralympians have been invited to the post-Games celebrations next month and organisers say the event will be streamed live on sportscotland social media channels.

It is not known if Murray would be able to attend the homecoming as he prepares for the US Open, which runs for two weeks from August 29.

Sportscotland Chief Executive Stewart Harris said: "It has been a remarkable performance from the Scots to win 12 medals and have 15 medallists. This represents the most successful overseas Games for Scots on Team GB and everyone in Scotland can be very proud of their success.

"The homecoming celebrations will provide a fitting tribute to the Scottish Olympians and Paralympians, and where better to have the post-Games event than at Oriam, Scotland's brand new, world-class national performance centre."

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon added: "With nearly two days' competition still to come this is already among the most successful Olympics ever for Scottish athletes, and of course we still have the Paralympics to come.

"All of Scotland's Team GB sportsmen and women have done the country proud. I hope their performances will help to inspire the next generation of Scottish Olympians and Paralympians."
