I am not Scottish neither am I an avid football fan .
However, I couldn’t help but be impressed with the way that the Scottish fans have been treated, welcomed & enjoyed &!added to the atmosphere in Providence Boston .
Not normally a person who will scroll through reels , yesterday I did just that caught up with all the joyous moments of videos on line .
The many many stories .
Watching Police join in the dancing , don a Scottish shirt .
One bar owner ordered 3 times as much as he did for the last huge event & that went on record time .
To the now famous placing of Traffic cones onto statues .
A tradition that started in the 1980’s by a late night drinker in Glasgow , by pacing cone in the head of The Duke of Wellington. The Police removed it , it was put back & so it continued & became a “ thing “ “ a tradition “ which is joyous to see across the pond , I even saw one place by a fan using a cherry picker .
Boston twinned with Glasgow
Haggis being made legal in Boston
The Mayor placing her own traffic cone onto a statue.
The marching band
So many men in Kilts ,
One American couple flew from Texas to
Boston to experience the whole thing .
A retired Uk expat gave away a ticket he was selling (£838) to a young fan who had been scammed .
I’m sure you get the picture here & if you start looking at these instagram reels you will too .
Yes I am somewhat obsessed .
I am in awe of the whole joyful feeling they are giving & maybe the birth rate of Scottish /American babies may rise in 9 months .
It’s a huge thing for Scotland to be at the World Cup championships .
They are doing Scotland proud .
