Welcome to Scots in New England World Cup 2026
The Tartan Army Has Landed, and Boston Loves It
If you have been anywhere near Boston or Providence over the past week or on social media, you will already know. The kilts. The bagpipes. The singing that carries on long after the final whistle. Scotland’s legendary traveling supporters, the Tartan Army, have arrived in New England for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and they have stolen the show.
Help Us Build Our Summer 2026 Gallery!
From the packed bars of Lansdowne Street to the stands of Gillette Stadium, the Tartan Army brought color, warmth, and unforgettable moments to Boston. We are building an online gallery to remember every moment—and we need your photos and videos to help fill it.
