A new bursary to help young rugby players has been set up in honour of the man who became the voice of the sport.
The Bill McLaren Foundation (BMF) scheme will see up to four female and four male players receive a share of £30,000.
It aims to allow them to dedicate more time to their rugby in order to achieve their ambitions.
Former Scotland captain Rory Lawson, who is Bill's grandson, said the partnership with Scottish Rugby was "incredibly meaningful".
Bill McLaren's career behind the microphone began with BBC radio in 1953 and he went on to become one of the most recognisable voices in the game over the next five decades.
Following his death in 2010, the BMF was formed by former friends and colleagues in his hometown of Hawick.
"Papa dedicated his life not just to rugby as a broadcaster, but to the people in it," said his grandson Rory.
"He was a teacher at heart, and he believed greatly in nurturing talent with encouragement and purpose.
"For Scottish Rugby to embrace this vision and help create a pathway for the next generation of Scottish rugby players, especially those who may need a little extra support, makes our family immensely proud and we're honoured that his name continues to inspire and open doors for others."
