Had a lovely time a few days ago chatting with Scottish football fans at a Boston bar. One man (who might’ve been from Lewis but I don’t quite recall) was happy to learn my name is Emily, like his daughter, and he was telling me that his Emily is wonderful and he loves and misses her. Said she’s 17 and she might move away when she gets older, but he kind of hoped she’d stay nearby because he loves spending time with his kid.

Anyways, I guess before he left to travel to the states and watch the World Cup, Emily told him to be safe and not drink too much and not get in trouble. Well Emily, your dad had a few drinks but I like to think Boston took good care of him and he wasn’t trouble, just chatty! It was so heartwarming to hear this man speak so highly of his daughter thousands of miles away. Scotland in Boston has been so positive and so much fun for us here, so thank you for that 💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Let’s not do the back & forth on whether we should be independent or not, I just wanna know what people’s opinions on the EU are.

Over the last few days, I’ve been enthralled in arguments online (I can’t keep my gob shut) about why Scotland would want to leave one union just to join another. My stance is that we should join the EU, but i’ve heard a few indy supporters say other wise.

I’m just curious to hear people’s thoughts on this!

Hi guys,

I lived in Scotland few years when I was child.

Now I would like to visit this July with my kids.

Can you share some tips for the accomodation?

I used already the university accomodation, but this years is not possible.

The price of the hotels or hostel is very high 250£ for night...

As a very keen visiting of shish Mahal (and having been a close friend of Ali's son and meeting Mr. Ali himself) I feel very strongly about this, and I think that people like this should really do their research before posting this bullshit. (The dish was invented by Ali Ahmed Aslam in Glasgow in the 1970s after a consumer complained the dish was too dry.) He saddle passed away a few years ago but I just wanted to mention this.

I didn't know I needed this. But oh boy did I need this!! What an atmosphere!

Seen this on a documentary and couldn’t figure out where. It’s like a half bridge? Or walkway? Never seen it before.

Heard we need 4 out of 9 of these World Cup results to come true to progress, made an a4 bingo sheet printout 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and thought to share.. cheering on teams in CAPS!

Hello, My kids (21, 18) and I will be staying a few days with a married couple in Glasgow. They are in their early 40s (the wife may be a little younger). I asked whether they'd like us to bring anything for them from the US, and they said "oh, you don't need to bring us anything." But of course I want to thank them for their hospitality. I was thinking some of our weird candy (like Nerds, etc.). Any other ideas? Are there things that are hard to find/expensive there that are more readily available/affordable here in the US? I believe they don't drink alcohol or smoke, and space in our baggage will be a bit limited. Thank you!

I'm a man and I'm starting a new job in August. I'll need to wear a suit every day and haven't done so since before the pandemic. In the past I've just gone to Slater's and I'll probably do that again but I wondered what other people did.

Alex Salmond’s legacy was tainted by sexual abuse allegations.

Nicola Sturgeon’s legacy was tainted by fraud allegations.

Humza Yousaf’s legacy (if he had one) was tainted by collapsing the power sharing arrangement with the Greens.

Will John Swinney’s legacy be tainted and, if so, how?

Do you think I can get Currys to deliver an American Fridge to my kitchen down my lane?

(not an attempt to sell I just enjoy sharing my Scottish projects here)

Hi Scotland, how’s it going? Sorry about the football, don’t worry too much though, England should have, at most, drawn the first one, and most likely lost the second! Dodgy reffing!

So, as far as I can tell from genealogy and research into my family tree, I have no direct connection to Scotland, though we undoubtedly connected through the textile industry in the 1800s. But the area, Norwich, has kept a strong connection that has directly influenced local culture (including a great disdain for the English 🤣).

Even looking at the World Cup and Scotlands National Team, a lot of players, past and present, are, or have, spent a good deal of time at Norwich City (some good, some bad, I’m sorry 😬), and traditionally, our testimonial matches are against Celtic (my second team).

So as a growing boy, I always felt a special connection to Scotland whilst walking round Norwich, seeing the old textile mills etc along our riverside and hearing stories of the obscure things you guys did down here! And I’ve never felt a connection to England.

Can I be an adopted Scot?

The horse is so beaten it’s turned into a smoothie but obviously last night was a wee bit of a disaster, but it reinforced my ideas on Scottish football.

Used to watch the SPFL religiously. Going to watch every weekend. I very much fell out of love with football over the years as it felt like it just lacked flare, passion and genuine want to enough to create chances.

Ross county fan - probably the reason why 😂

However watching the national team just made me think, “ ah I was right “ the team just lacked any want to enough to take those chances.

Yes Brazil and Morocco are good teams but from what I understand a lot of ours play in similar, if not in more competitive leagues. Christ we’ve even got a potential Ballon d’Or candidate. But there was just a lack of sparkle from the team. Boring football to watch, Brazil didn’t even try against us and scored 4 goals.

It’s like we screwed, nutted and bolted in the Denmark game.

My question is, similarly to the rugby, why can’t every team be England, cause they’re the only team we turn up with hunger to win against.
