Boston, you've embraced us like long-lost cousins': Tartan Army thanks city in full-page ad in Scottish paper

Boston, you've embraced us like long-lost cousins': Tartan Army thanks city in full-page ad in Scottish paper highlights how Scotland supporters publicly returned gratitude after World Cup travel to Massachusetts. The Scottish Herald ran a free full-page advertisement thanking Boston for welcoming the Tartan Army, describing fans’ positive impact during the month’s visit. It credits supporters for attending Boston Red Sox games at Fenway Park, donating to charities, and decorating local statues with traffic cones. The message follows a similar, celebratory full-page thank-you published in The Boston Globe earlier in the week. The Herald’s Editor Catherine Salmond shared a side-by-side comparison on X, and staffer Gabriel McKay wrote up the two ads. The opening note addressed “Dear Boston,” calling the reception welcoming “from the moment we arrived.”
