Tartan Army boost Scottish tourism after Euros

An estimated 200,000 Scotland fans travelled to Germany to support Steve Clarke’s team in their first major overseas tournament since the 1998 World Cup.

On the pitch, the side struggled and failed to qualify for the knock-out phase of the tournament, but for two weeks fans partied with the locals in Munich, Cologne, Stuttgart.

Craig Ferguson gained social media fame by walking in his kilt from Glasgow to Munich to raise charity for men’s mental health.

The 21-year-old has been back to Germany several times and has even become friends with the Mayor of Munich.

“Pretty much on the daily I’ve been getting messages from people in Germany saying: ‘Look Craig, we want to come to Scotland now because of what we’ve seen, what the Scottish people were like, in our cities over the summer’.

“For sure there’s not just people saying they want to come, but there are actually people booking flights to come, which is fantastic.”
