Viral video of Scots playing bagpipes in Boston at 6.30am ahead of World Cup 

The Tartan Army have travelled to New England ahead of the 2026 World Cup matches in Massachusetts.

Boston resident Mike Morrison got quickly acquainted with the Scots after they arrived across the street at their accommodation and were out playing the bagpipes at 6.30am.

They decked out the apartment in Saltires, and the video of their morning wake-up call has been viewed more than 5 million times on X.

He even admitted he was resisting the temptation to go and join the group for a beer.

“In the dead of night, the Scots arrived at the Airbnb across the street,” Mr Morrison, who filmed the footage, wrote.

“Decked out and playing the pipes at 6:30 am. So it begins…” he added.

Scotland is playing two of their Group C World Cup matches at Boston Stadium (Gillette Stadium) in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Their opening match is against Haiti on Saturday, June 13, followed by a match against Morocco on Friday, June 19.
