Boston is preparing itself for a baby boom of little Scots in nine months after American women declared their "faith in men has been restored" by the city's wave of celebrating Scotland supporters.
The Tartan Army flooded into the Massachusetts capital to witness Scotland's first World Cup appearance in 28 years. And their impact extended far beyond the field. While the squad delivered their part with a 1-0 triumph over Haiti, the supporters were equally busy making waves in the city's nightlife venues.
Hundreds of Boston women took to TikTok with clips of themselves drinking, dancing, and partying alongside kilt-wearing Scots. One blonde arranged a date night, encouraging Scots to head to a bar where 100 single American women were waiting to meet them.

Another, who posted a video of herself in a Scotsman's embrace, wrote on the platform: "I may not be happily married but at least I'm single while the Scottish are in town for the World Cup.", reports the Irish Star .
A different clip, which received more than 70,000 likes, showed a fan carrying a woman on his back through Boston's streets, captioned: "If he won't, a Scottish man will."
Another TikTok user highlighted the "kindness" of the visiting Brits, encouraging American men to pay attention. She said: "If I was a single girly living in Boston right now... you need to go by the bars.

"If you don't go you're doing something wrong because you could find a nice Scottish man. They seem very nice. They wanted to pet my dog. So I'm just saying, you should all go."
One woman posted on Reddit: "Seeking out some cultural exchange as a group of single ladies in our 30s." Another commented: "Great legs and great accents. The kilt is superior."
A third user added: "I got nothing to add except kilts are sexy AF. You all wear them well." Yet another shared she was "loving being surrounded by kilts literally any time I step outside to walk anywhere - bagpipes too - glorious'".

One more declared: "Oh I'm out on the hunt tonight....will update if I find a Scottish man that whisks me away." Additional posters praised the Scots for 'bringing the vibes' to Boston as World Cup fever gripped the typically understated city.
Over 50,000 fans flooded the region, with the vast majority staying throughout the week leading up to Scotland's second fixture against Morocco.

"For perspective, from Thursday to Sunday, the Tartan Army drank four times as much Boston Lager as we run through on a typical four-day holiday stretch like July 4," she explained. "We had to schedule an emergency delivery on Saturday morning.
"We sold over 3,000 pints of lager over the weekend with our teams picking up 70 empty kegs on Monday." Numerous other Boston bars, taverns, and entertainment venues reported record-breaking sales numbers.
Despite the staggering levels of alcohol consumed, the Scots were responsible for zero incidents and won over locals with their boisterous, good-humored revelry. They donated $30,000 to local community groups as a token of gratitude to their hosts, which prompted the mayor to forge a sister-city relationship with Glasgow.
Following Morocco, the Tartan Army will head to Miami for what promises to be a thrilling final group stage showdown against five-time World Cup champions Brazil.
