Peter Stewart (athlete)

Stewart competed for Scotland at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games, narrowly missing out on a medal in fourth place.^[2] He was Scottish champion in the 1500 m in 1970.^[3]

Stewart finished second behind Tony Polhill in the 1500 metres event at the 1971 AAA Championships^[4] but by virtue of being the highest placed British athlete was considered the British 1500 metres champion^[5] One month later he competed in the 1500 metres at the 1971 European Athletics Championships, but failed to make the final.

He was the 3000 m champion at the 1971 AAA Indoor Championships^[6] and won the 1500 m AAA title outright at the 1972 AAA Championships.^[4]

Both he and his brother Ian Stewart were members of Birchfield Harriers.^[7] At the Emsley Carr Mile, he took back-to-back titles in 1971 and 1972, following on from his brother's victory the previous year.^[8] Their younger sister Mary won gold in the 1500m representing England at the 1978 Commonwealth Games.
