Celebrating Scotland’s Tartan Army and the Glasgow-Boston Twinning Partnership

Lodged by Holly Bruce (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 26 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the formal proposals to strengthen the twinning partnership between the cities of Glasgow and Boston; commends the leadership of Glasgow’s Lord Provost, Jacqueline McLaren, and Boston’s Mayor, Michelle Wu, in championing this civic alliance; celebrates what it sees as the exemplary conduct, vibrant culture and warmth of the Scotland football fans, affectionately known as the Tartan Army, during their travels throughout the United States for the 2026 FIFA World Cup; notes with pride the overwhelmingly positive response and hospitality extended to Scottish supporters by the people of Boston; believes that what it considers to be the legendary camaraderie, charity fundraising and musical skill of the Tartan Army have served as a powerful showcase of Scotland on the international stage, and wishes both cities every success in fostering a lasting legacy of friendship, mutual prosperity and shared heritage following the tournament.
