New England’s largest, award–winning news organization has thanked the Tartan Army for their unforgettable impact on Boston.

The largest news organisation in New England has published a full page tribute to the Tartan Army after bringing a joy that Boston “will never forget”.

Daily newspaper The Boston Globe, one of the biggest news brands in the United States, has thanked the Scots who travelled to support Steve Clarke’s men for their two matches in the city during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Tartan Army are known across the world for the atmosphere they bring wherever they travel and they have added another city to the list of places which will be left with fond memories.

From drinking pubs dry to playing bagpipes at 6am and the abducted traffic cones which now adorn countless statues across Boston, the locals have been overawed by the traveling Scots – so much so that Glasgow and Boston are now set to become sister cities.

In a letter to the Tartan Army published in today’s Globe, the newspaper thanked the travelling supporters as they move onto Miami for Scotland‘s final group stage match.

The Globe said: “Dear Tartan Army, you came for the World Cup, but gave us something more.

“For a week, you turned train stations into singalongs, Fenway into a football ground and an ordinary June into something we’ll be talking about for years.

“Boston has hosted championships, parades and celebrations of every kind. But we’ve never hosted guests quite like you all.

“Thank you for the laughter, the bagpipes and the memories. The World Cup will move on. So will the songs, but we’ll never forget the joy you brought to our city.”

A plethora of videos have been posted across social media of the Tartan Army enjoying themselves in New England – including from one England supporter who was taken under the Scots wing for a night he would never forget and one Boston bartender who raked in nearly $1,000 in tips in a single shift.

John McGinn and co have headed back to their base in Charlotte, North Carolina and they will soon be on their way to Miami where they are set to take on Brazil under the blistering Florida sun at the Hard Rock Stadium on Wednesday, June 24.

And the party has already started in the Sunshine State’s second-largest city. Should Andy Robertson and his teammates make history against the five-time world champions, it could be another week to remember and another city left with fond memories of the traveling Scots.

Police Scotland have confirmed a man has been charged in connection to a series of violent attacks across Edinburgh on Friday that left five people injured

A man has been charged in connection with a series of attacks in Edinburgh on Friday that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said appeared to be motivated by “anti-Muslim hatred”.

Police Scotland said: “A 36-year-old man has been charged in connection with a number of incidents which took place in Edinburgh on Friday June 19 2026.

“A report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal, and the individual will appear at court in due course.”

Counter-terrorism officers were called in to probe a string of violent incidents across Edinburgh on Friday, with Police Scotland confirming a 36-year-old white Scottish man had been arrested. The force confirmed there is no further threat to the public.

Officers were dispatched to reports of an incident in the Sighthill area of the city, where two men were left injured, at approximately 8.50pm on Friday. Police subsequently received further reports of incidents targeting retailers across the west and north of the city.

Five men – two aged 22, and others aged 24, 27, and 39 – sustained a range of injuries. Three required hospital treatment, though none of the injuries are considered life-threatening. Several of the victims are Muslim, according to the Muslim Engagement and Development (Mend) organisation.

Sir Keir Starmer took to X, sharing an image of a bare-chested man wielding a large weapon, writing: “Absolutely appalling. No one should face violence on our streets.

“The suspect appears to be motivated by anti-Muslim hatred. I will not tolerate this – he will face the full force of the law. My thoughts are with those who are injured and I thank the police and the emergency services for their response.”

Videos circulating online showed a bare-chested white man wandering the streets of Edinburgh carrying a large weapon, while a separate clip appeared to show a man hammering on the door of a pizzeria.

Officers cordoned off Leith Walk on Friday evening as the situation developed, with further footage appearing to show a topless man on the ground shouting that he is “protecting the country” while being restrained by an officer.

Scottish First Minister John Swinney also denounced the violence in an online post on X, writing: “I am deeply concerned by these incidents. There is no place for violence, racism or intolerance in our country. I met community groups last week to assure them of the strong support of the Government.”

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood described herself as “horrified” by the violence, which appeared “to be motivated by anti-Muslim hatred”, while Police Scotland Assistant Chief Constable Catriona Paton branded it “shocking”, expressing her thoughts for those injured and most directly affected.

Ms Mahmood said she was “grateful” to the police and emergency services for their “bravery in apprehending the suspect and for their speedy response in attending to the victims”. She added: “There is no place for hatred and violence against Muslims. I know it is not who we are as a country.”

Assistant Chief Constable Paton said: “I want to send a clear message of support to all our communities that there is no place for racism or faith-based hate in a Scotland which is at its best when we stand together. Officers responded to multiple reports of a fast-moving sequence of events across Edinburgh before arresting a man and public safety was our priority.

“Extensive work is ongoing to establish all the circumstances.”

The force is collaborating with Counter Terrorism Policing and operating under the direction of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service. She went on to say: “I want to thank our officers who responded with bravery and professionalism, and with a focus on protecting the public.

“I’m hugely grateful for the support and assistance of our communities and would appeal for anyone with any information to share it with police.”

A Major Incident Public Portal (MIPP) has been established to enable members of the public to submit information directly to officers. Police are urging anyone with relevant information to upload it via an online form.

Scottish Government’s Justice Secretary Neil Gray said: “These attacks were awful and my thoughts are with those who were injured and affected by them. As Police Scotland have said, there is no place for racism or faith-based hate in Scotland.

“They have also confirmed that a man has been arrested, there is no threat to the public and their inquiries are ongoing. I encourage anyone with information to contact the police. This was clearly a very serious incident and my thanks go to the emergency services for their bravery and skill in bringing the incident under control.”

World number one Scottie Scheffler ignited his bid to claim the career grand slam after a one-under round of 69 made him the main threat to US Open third-round leader Wyndham Clark.

The American is taking his first shot at trying to join the elite six-man club which Rory McIlroy was admitted to last year after winning the Masters.

For two days Scheffler went under the radar after rounds of 72 and 68 but with a number of other multiple major winners who started the day in the top 10 struggling in the toughest conditions of the week at Shinnecock Hills, the 29-year-old breezed past them and into contention.

His round, which started with back-to-back bogeys, included four birdies on the back nine – including a chip-in at the 14th and narrowly missing an eagle attempt at the 16th – and after dropping a shot at the short 17th he missed a four-footer for birdie at the last.

It moved him to within five shots of 2024 champion Clark, who was one over through 13 holes of his round and six under for the tournament when the world number one finished up.

McIlroy’s bid for a first US Open title since making his major breakthrough in 2011 collapsed after the turn after going out in a two-under 33.

Three successive birdies from the fifth moved him to within four of Clark, who was just teeing off, but he overshot the green at the difficult 10th for the second successive day for the first of five bogeys on an inward nine of 40 and a round of 73 which left him three over and his hopes in tatters.

Scheffler is hoping for a triple celebration on Sunday as it is his birthday and also Father’s Day.

“I think it’s appropriate to understand what’s at stake,” he said.

“I’ve worked really hard for a long time to have a chance to win golf tournaments and to win major championships.

“I think understanding the moment and giving it your best shot I think is all part of the process.

“I mean, I’d rather be leading but I have an opportunity to go out there and have a great round and give myself a chance to win the tournament.

“I’ll need a really nice round tomorrow if I’m going to try and catch Wyndham.”

Saltwick Bay is known by visitors for its cliffs, rocky shoreline and views across the North Sea.

The secluded cove sits beneath the clifftop path from Whitby Abbey and can also be reached via Whitby Holiday Park, although visitors are warned that the descent can be steep, muddy and slippery.

Despite its relatively remote feel, the bay attracts walkers, photographers and geology enthusiasts throughout the year.

Saltwick Bay is particularly popular with fossil hunters thanks to its position on the Jurassic Coast.

The continually eroding cliffs make it a well-known spot for finding Lower Jurassic fossils, including ammonites, belemnites and fossilised plant remains.

Visitors also sometimes search the shoreline for pieces of Whitby Jet, the rare black fossilised gemstone strongly associated with the town nearby.

Today, the dramatic cliffs and rock platforms provide a very different kind of attraction.

At low tide, one of the bay’s most photographed sights is the rusting remains of the Admiral Van Tromp fishing trawler.

The vessel ran aground in 1976 and became embedded in the rocks, where parts of the wreck can still be seen when the tide is out.

Saltwick Bay is also linked to the SS Rohilla, a hospital ship which sank near Saltwick Nab in 1914 during the First World War.

The disaster led to a major rescue effort involving lifeboats from Whitby, Scarborough, Redcar, and Tynemouth.

The bay’s scenery is dominated by Black Nab, a craggy sea stack at the edge of the shoreline, which has become a popular subject for photographers.

Many visitors describe Saltwick Bay as “wild”, “atmospheric” and “unspoilt”, praising its fossil hunting, rock pools and sense of isolation despite its closeness to Whitby.

Others say the beach is a favourite for dog walking, with year-round access and open space at low tide.

However, visitors are repeatedly warned that Saltwick Bay is not a beach to visit without planning.

The tide comes in quickly and can cut off parts of the shoreline, leaving people trapped against the cliffs.

Anyone heading down to the bay is urged to check tide times before visiting and to avoid walking close to the base of the cliffs, where rockfalls are common.

There are also no toilets, cafes, shops or facilities directly on the beach, meaning visitors should bring water, snacks and suitable footwear.

Tallulah Bradford died six days after being involved in a horror incident at Chalkwell Park in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Her loved ones have now paid tribute to the ‘beautiful’ 18-year-old

Tributes have been paid to a teenage girl who sadly died this week following a horror incident at a seaside park.

The incident happened in the Chalkwell Park area of Southend-On-Sea in Essex in the early hours of Saturday, June 13, where the woman suffered severe injuries and was rushed to hospital. Essex Police have said that two teenagers aged 17 and 18 have been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and they have been bailed.

The force is appealing for witnesses to come forward to help in the investigation, saying that there were a large crowd of young people in the area at the time of the incident.

The latest statement form Essex Police on the incident reads: ” “A teenager seriously injured following an incident involving a vehicle in Southend has, sadly, now died. We had been called to the Chalkwell Park area at around 12.30am on Saturday 13 June to reports a group of people to have taken unauthorised control of a small articulated loading vehicle.

“An 18 year-old woman had sustained significant injuries following an incident in the Chalkwell Park. She was taken to hospital but, sadly, has since died and officers are continuing to support her family. Our enquiries into the incident are ongoing.

“An 18 year-old man from Westcliff and a 17 year-old boy arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving remain on bail until September. We know there were a large number of young people in the area at the time, and we believe some may have witnessed what happened. We need anyone who has information and who we’ve not already spoken with to come forward.”

The force added: “You can contact us by submitting a report on our website or via our 24/7 Live Chat service at www.essex.police.uk, or by calling 101 quoting incident 39 of 13 June.”

A GoFundMe page has since been launched in her memory. The fundraiser, which set out to raise £4,500, was created to support Tallulah’s family. A family friend wrote on the page: “Full of love, laughter, and kindness, Tallulah touched the lives of everyone who knew her. She brought so much joy to her family and friends, and her memory will be cherished forever.”

It added: “Tallulah was deeply loved, and she will never be forgotten. Her beautiful spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who knew her, especially in the hearts of her mum Jayde, and her brother, Lennon and her grandparents, aunties and uncles.”

Over £18,000 has already been raised for Jayde and her family.

Royal Mail has launched a new campaign encouraging children aged four to 17 to send letters of support to the England and Scotland men’s World Cup football teams.

The initiative aims to inspire a new generation to rediscover the value of letter writing while wishing the national squads well during the tournament.

Alistair Cochrane, chief executive of Royal Mail, highlighted the community spirit of such events.

He stated: “Sporting moments like this bring people together across the country and we wanted to give children a simple and meaningful way to get involved. Writing a letter is a personal way to show support, and we hope this campaign encourages young people to take part while highlighting the value of sending letters.”

Children wishing to participate can send their letters to the dedicated Freepost addresses: World Class Letters Freepost England or World Class Letters Freepost Scotland.

Scotland have enjoyed mixed emotions at the World Cup so far. Steve Clarke’s team beat Haiti 1-0 in the opening match, their first win at a World Cup since 1990, giving them a strong possibility of qualifying for the last 32.

However, despite a resilient showing on Friday night against a strong Morocco side, they wound up losing 1-0, conceding the only goal of the game within the first 70 seconds.

England, considered to be one of the tournament favourites, secured an impressive 4-2 win over Croatia on Wednesday night. England were level 2-2 at half-time with their European counterparts, despite two goals from talisman Harry Kane.

England, though, showed much more dynamism and attack intent in the second half, with goals from Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford ultimately giving Thomas Tuchel’s side the win.

The Three Lions continue their tournament on Tuesday, when they face Ghana in Boston.
