Other Scottish places to have the honour of displaying the Olympic flame include Edinburgh, Glasgow, Orkney and Shetland. Olympic Torchbearers from the local area will have the honour of carrying the Olympic flame. It is not yet known who will carry the Aberdeen Olympic torch though there can be more than one Olympic torchbearer for the Aberdeen route. AboutAberdeen think that Aberdonian swimmer David Carry could represent the sporting population of Aberdeen whilst singer Fiona Kennedy would make a great representative for Aberdeen culture.
Confirmed Olympic Torch bearers from the Aberdeenshire and North East of Scotland region include 14 year old Ciara Ennis from Huntly who was nominated by mum for her charity fundraising work.
