From Glasgow to Boston: How a Humble Traffic Cone Became a Symbol of Scottish Fan Love at the World Cup
Scottish World Cup fans brought their unique tradition of placing orange traffic cones on statues to Boston, transforming the city into ‘New Scotland’ during the tournament. This led to a special ‘Boston cone’ making a first-class journey to the US, greeted by dignitaries including the Massachusetts Governor and Boston Mayor.
The cone’s visit celebrates the bond between the Scottish fans and Boston, symbolizing joy, humor, and love, and will now embark on a tour to raise money for mental health charities before returning home.
