Louise Martin, Chair of sportscotland said:
"As The National Agency for Sport, one of our most important roles is to encourage participation in sport in all its forms. While we celebrate sporting success we also recognise that for the majority of Scots, being fit and active is a much more realistic ambition.
"The funding announced today will support a range of organisations to ensure that there really is something for everyone, irrespective of age or ability."
