The first athletes have begun to arrive, despite concerns over unfinished accommodation
Members of Team Scotland and Team Wales have arrived in Delhi for the Commonwealth Games.
About 80 members of the Scottish team and 50 of the Welsh have travelled to the competitors' village, despite earlier fears they would not attend.
There had been criticism of unfinished facilities in Delhi and fears over security. New images of dirty rooms appeared in the Indian press on Sunday.
Earlier, the problems were discussed at an emergency meeting of officials.
The athletes flew out on Saturday after it emerged that Scots tennis player Elena Baltacha would not be going.

She issued a statement explaining that due to a chronic liver condition - primary sclerosing cholangitis - the health risks of going to the Games were "too high".
Baltacha, 27, added: "I suffer from a liver condition which is linked to my immune system and makes me susceptible to picking up infections."
Among those who travelled on Saturday were members of the archery, lawn bowls, shooting, tennis and weightlifting teams.
Team Scotland's rugby players, boxers and wrestlers are due to head out on Tuesday.
Safety fears
Scottish team manager Vicky Strange, already in Delhi, told BBC Radio Scotland's Sports Weekly: "Our accommodation for Team Scotland is actually very much ready.
"It's been a hard week but it definitely has paid off and the organising committee have now taken notice of everything that has been said and there's been a lot of progress."
At least eight nations, including England and Wales, have expressed reservations over the preparations for the Games.
Teams hit out at accommodation for athletes described as "unfit for human habitation".
Individual athletes, including reigning Commonwealth triple jump champion Phillips Idowu, decided not to attend over safety fears.
These were heightened when a footbridge to the main stadium collapsed and the roof of the weightlifting venue fell in.
