Boston’s mayor, Michelle Wu, has commemorated the newfound sister city relationship between Boston and Glasgow with a nod to Scottish culture. The Tartan Army, renowned for their friendly demeanor, has been warmly embraced by Bostonians during their recent stay in the city. Mayor Wu formalized the twinning arrangement with Glasgow by signing a letter of intent at The Haven, Boston’s sole Scottish-themed bar and the unofficial hub for the Tartan Army during their visit.

In a light-hearted gesture, Mayor Wu revealed that she playfully adorned a statue outside Boston’s city hall with a traffic cone, inspired by Glasgow’s iconic Duke of Wellington statue adorned with a similar cone. Expressing her delight in the festive atmosphere created by the Tartan Army, Mayor Wu humorously mentioned placing cones on other statues around the city, including one on basketball legend Bill Russell’s head.

Praising the Tartan Army for their positive impact on the city, Mayor Wu highlighted their commitment to cleanliness and community spirit. She lauded their efforts in maintaining cleanliness in public spaces and expressed admiration for their responsible behavior. The formal agreement cementing the sister city status will be finalized next April during Tartan Week.

During the World Cup festivities, statues in Boston, including that of Robert Burns, have been playfully accessorized with traffic cones by visiting Scottish fans. A viral TikTok video captured a fan adorning the Burns statue with a cone, showcasing the jovial and fun-loving spirit of the Tartan Army. The video quickly gained popularity online, garnering thousands of views and likes within hours of its posting.
