Scotland fans taught a Boston police officer how to play the bagpipes in a hilarious video clip.
The Tartan Army descended on the US host city last week for the country's first World Cup in 28 years, which got off to a flying start with John McGinn's wonder strike bringing the national team a stunning 1-0 victory over Haiti.
Fans have been making their presence known in the city - convincing a cop to keepy uppies in the street, drinking the pubs dry of beer and placing cones on statues to mimic Glasgow's iconic Duke of Wellington.
In the footage, a Boston-based police officer can be seen giving the bagpipes a go. Cheered on by Scotland fans, the policeman psyches himself up to blow into the instrument. To help him out, a Tartan Army member, decked out in a kilt and Scotland strip, approaches the officer to reposition the pipes before stepping back and letting the policeman blow into them as he attempts to play a tune.
The circle erupts in smiles and claps as sound blares out from the pipes and the officer does a brief jig. His fellow officers watch on smiling at the crowd as they erupt into applause.
Hundreds of people have since commented on the video, enjoying the merriment of the fans and police across the pond. One commented: "Someone needs to give the Boston police a bonus - they are coming across as amazing on my feed," while another said: "The cops look like they are loving this." A third added: "This is what the world needs more of - cultures and countries mixing harmoniously. Boston police are fab for this." Another person added: "God bless those policemen. Thank you all the people in Boston for welcoming our Scottish family and friends."
Elsewhere, the Tartan Army have been partying with Norway fans in Boston as both sets of fans celebrate a first World Cup in 28 years. The last time the Scandinavians qualified for a major tournament was also back in 1998 - and Scots have been marking the momentous occasion by drinking beers together in the city centre bars.
The Scots will continue the hilarity in the Massachusetts city until Friday when Scotland take on Morocco. The Tartan Army will then head to Miami where Steve Clarke's men will try their luck against Brazil.
