The move is part of the tourism group's attempts to connect with a younger audience. As an ambassador Jill offers her own tips on where to go / eat / drink / party in Scotland's cities, with a special guide to Glasgow. Meanwhile there will be promotions surrounding the Scottish cities on the bands current UK tour and new single 'In & Out'.
Commenting on the 'ambassador' role Jill told CMU: "I've travelled all over the UK and Europe with Speedway, and I can guarantee that Scotland's cities are hard to beat. They're beautiful as well as having some of the best clubs, bars and restaurants around, and each city has its own very distinctive vibe. I'm delighted to have been chosen as an ambassador for the site and thrilled that I can get people down to all my favourite haunts when they visit Glasgow!"
