How the Tartan army captured the heart of Boston

Sean Hemenway, 28 from Boston said Scotland tops have been flying off the shelves at his classic football strip store.

He said: “By 14:45 on game day, we had sold 67 units. That’s a ton. Even USA strips were 29 off the pace.

“I’ve noticed a lot of Bostonians coming in to buy Scotland tops after meeting the fans out, and Americans don’t pledge their allegiance for other countries like that.

“Once the Scots are gone it’ll be a day of mourning. You guys are a part of Boston now.”

But for locals, the visitors have brought much more to the city than a boost in sales.

In the public park Boston Common on Wednesday a gathering of Bostonians was organised on social media as a chance to bring people together. Hundreds of people showed up.

Those who attended swapped Irn Bru and Root Beer, while Scots and Americans alike chanted “No Scotland, No Party”.
