Scotland at the 1950 British Empire Games

Scotland at the 1950 British Empire Games (abbreviated SCO) was the fourth time that the nation had participated at the Games following the appearances in 1930, 1934 and 1938.

The Games were held in Auckland, New Zealand, from 4 to 11 February 1950, following a twelve-year break because of World War II. Scotland came 6th overall in the medal table with five gold, three silver and two bronze medals.

Funds of £6,000 were needed in order for a Scottish team to participate in the Games. Charlie Usher was the team manager. The team were the first to officially declare for the Games.
