The Tartan Army have a secret the world doesn’t know about☀️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Every time Scotland play away The Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal raises money here at home and then donates to a children’s hospital or local charity in the country they’re visiting.

Every single time. For more than twenty years.

I think The Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal is one of the most quietly brilliant things Scotland does.

This is a World Cup year. So somewhere in 2026, a hospital full of kids or a charity who’ve probably never even heard of Scotland are about to have a very special visit.

Wee country. Massive heart.

And on a gorgeous sunshine-filled day, it felt right to share it with you☀️

You know how I say joy is fuel…

And here is proof, because sometimes the best thing you can do to keep going is to… well, be a bit daft.

I can’t believe it’s been nearly a week since the @great_run, what yous up to this weekend?

And thank you to @glasgowfrontrunners for the joy 🫶

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨ The nights are getting darker, the mornings are getting harder to get out of bed for… so I thought we could all do with a wee bit of good news.

From Govanhill being officially cool, to a giant Scottie with a cone on his heid for charity, and a tunnel of art. Oh and the Scottish Oompa Loompa getting a Netflix deal.

Here’s some of Scottish Good stuff. 💙

🌎 Govanhill officially cool
💧Water therapy
🎸 Oasis Not Looking Back
🚲 Canberra to Canberra
🏃‍♂️ Kerr on the run
🌈 Light in the Tunnel
👟 Miles for Mum
🐕 Scottie’s have got us beaming
🎨 Basic-ally Creative
🍫 Oompa Loompa Goes Global

There’s always more than one story about a place, so if you see something everyone should know about 🙏🏼 send it my way 💛👇

I made a mistake. I spiralled... but a fridge magnet brought me back.

I know, sounds like the plot of a Jason Stratham movie 💥

But it did get me thinking about how quickly ‘I got something wrong’ can turn into an exercise in beating yourself up.

We all mess up. Even folk with the best intentions.

And Caroline, if you’re reading this… I’m very sorry. 😬

To err is human. And apparently so is being a bit weird. ❤️
