He grilled sausages for bagpiping strangers. Now he's Miami-bound.

Boston, Massachusetts · 22 June 2026

An estimated 30,000 Scottish football fans descended on Boston last week, and the city is still recovering, in the fondest possible way. It began at 6:30am, when a crew staying at an Airbnb roused a quiet Massachusetts suburb with bagpipes. Mike Morrison, the neighbor across the street, filmed it. Instead of calling anyone, he grilled the jet-lagged fans some sausages. Airbnb is now sending him to Miami for Scotland's June 24 match against Brazil so he can reunite with the Tartan Army, who handed him an honorary membership certificate and repeated offers of a morning beer. The Samuel Adams Boston Taproom drank through 4,000 pints in four days and needed four emergency restocks. Sgt. Connor Hardy juggled a soccer ball in full tactical gear, and his captain bought him a kilt after the video spread. The Providence police chief, watching 6,000 Scots prepare to leave, said simply, "We simply don't want them to leave."
