Scotland's Tartan Army continues World Cup march through America, turning Miami into Edinburgh South
A lot has been made about the different foreign tourists who have come to the United States to cheer on their teams during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
While most countries have been well-represented, no one has been having more fun in America than the Scots.
From drinking the entire city of Boston out of beer to discovering the beauty of Buc-ee's, the Scottish supporters have turned the Land of the Free into their own personal playground, and on Monday, they set their sights on their next destination.
The Tartan Army -- the name of the most ardent group of Scotland fans -- made its way to the southernmost metropolitan area in the continental United States, as the entire city of Miami welcomed them with open arms.
SCOTTISH BREWERY SENDS IN REINFORCEMENTS AS TARTAN ARMY CONTINUES TO DRINK BARS DRY IN BOSTON
The Scots famously turned Fenway Park into a Tartan wonderland last week, but they may have outdone themselves when they showed up at loanDepot Park to watch the Marlins play ball on Monday evening.
As a lifelong Miami Marlins fan, I always wondered what it would take to get our home stadium to fill up like it does in other great baseball towns like St. Louis and Chicago.
Who knew all they needed were tens of thousands of drunk Scottish soccer fans to fill in all the empty seats in between the diehards and the scattered season ticket holders?
That's not even the most impressive scene from the day, either.
Check out the video footage of the Tartan Army marching through the streets of Little Havana on the way to the game.
I was just at a Marlins game over the weekend, and those streets are fairly tightly packed down there in Little Havana, so kudos to the Scots and the Marlins for making this happen from a logistics perspective.

It wasn't just baseball on the agenda for the Tartan Army, either.
If you were chilling in a Miami-area hotel pool over the weekend trying to nurse a hangover with some morning sun rays, you were in for a rude awakening... literally.
Those pesky Scots decided to bring the bagpipes with them to the pool, treating hundreds of college-aged kids on summer break to the song of their people.
THE VERDICT IS IN: EUROPEANS ARE OBSESSED WITH RURAL AMERICA DURING 2026 WORLD CUP STAY
I love the guy in the corner who just gets up and leaves his wife midway through the video.
Everyone else seems to be enjoying themselves, and who could blame them.
And if you thought you could escape the bagpipe onslaught by going to South Beach, think again.
Here's one intrepid member of the Tartan Army going mobile with his pipes, complete with roller skates, to serenade people and distract them from the fact that they paid $100 for parking.

Scotland will certainly win the award for most enthusiastic fanbase, that's for sure, as they still have one more match before their World Cup journey likely ends.
If they can pull off a miracle against Brazil on Wednesday, it will extend the trip of a lifetime for thousands of Scottish nationals.

Even if they don't win, however, you might have a hard time convincing a majority of these fans to go back to Scotland.
