Reaction To Scotland Fans Being Classy in Germany (EURO 2024) 

As a German I can confirm that the Scottish fans were extremely popular in Germany. Wonderful people!

You Scots can come any time ! You know. " No Scotland ,no party" and " Highland Cathedral" makes me eyes wet every time I hear it!

How can you not love the Scots?! Absolute class people. Love from a Dutchie. 🇳🇱💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌷

I'm german and a huge fan of scotland (been there 17 times and next month i will bee there again😊) so of course i love the country and the people. The sound of bagpipes gives me goosebumps (in a good way)😅

I always got goosebumps when I heard the bagpipes. The Scots are passionate, friendly, sincere and proud of their nation. You are always welcome here🍻

We Germans loved the Scots and Dutch Fan`s.💙👍Party 🎉

You got kicked out way too early, I wouldve enjoyed to have all these lovely people here a little longer! Greetings to Scotland from Germany. The yearly friendly match is a great Idea!

The attendance and the presence of the Scottish fans in Germany were amazing! It was the best present you Scots could have brought for us! Whatever team will win the Euro 2024 - the Scottish fans still have won our German hearts 👍👍👍👍👍 Listening to the sound of the bagpipes in our German cities feels like peace on Earth 😍

Everybody likes the Scots! There was one Fan who cleaned up a Park and said he did it, because Germany let them celebrate so nicely.

As a German, I listened to the bagpipe march through Cologne for about 6 minutes at maximum volume through headphones and you know what? Not only did I have goosebumps all over my body, no, tears actually ran down my face because it moved me so much.. ❤

I remember seeing the video of the scot jumping into the rhine for the first time and getting a heartattack for a second. As someone who grew up in Colonge we get taught from young age that the rhine is indeed a quite dangerous river with strong currents under the surface... but other than that, every video of the scots in germany is just pure joy :) EDIT: I think Colonge and Scots are such a perfect match because (for one reason) Colonge is very, very, very proud of their "Kölsche"-Music, which always had many bagpipes in it. Even when theres no EUROS, its not uncommon to see bagpipe-musicians on Colonge streets.

seeing the Scotland Fans in Germany makes me want to visit Scotland soon :)

German from Bavaria here! The Scottish Fans have been and in fact still are an absolute Blast! In fact, as a Bavarian with a Dialect that most other German Speakers don't understand i feel like i bonded with the Scottish especially, since they have their own unique Accent in English that a lot of English Speakers have Issues with understanding haha Let me put it this way: The Scottish were so funny and great to get drunk with but also respectful of Geman Etiquette, i'd trade a lot of Germans for Scots in a Heartbeat! Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

People who come in peace , and being very kind likes the scotish fans are always welcome to Germany.

I live in Cologne and discovered during the European Championships that Scots are the more polite version of English people. While English fans are only rude and drunk at some point, Scots keep being nice, even when very drunk.

The last bagpipe song was also the melody of the popular "Du...(bes die Stadt)" by the Cologne band Bläck Fööss. A very heartfelt tribute to the hosts and a tune linking the Scotts and Germans. ❤️❤️❤️

German one here... Thank you, Scotland for beeing there just to enjoy and celebrate life! We love you a lot! You're always welcome here.

After the first three matches it was all over for Scotland and the TV presentator of the German prime time eve news stated: "Germany is happy to have reached the next round. But Germany is sad, too, because our Scottish friends have to leave now." I add: ... and come back soon! 🥰

I reallye love the Scottish, their humour, their music, the bagpipes, everything!! Played soccer with some scottish guys years ago, such kind and friendly people!! Really love them❤! Greetings and hugs from Northern Germany!!!

I always loved the sound of bagpipes, even as a wee lil german boy ;-)

As a german Fan of Scotland, I was totally happy to have some scottish culture brought to Germany 😊 The Scots have been so friendly and peaceful, and it's nice to see how proud and patriotic they are! 'Flower Of Scotland' is one of most beautiful anthems I know! And the sound of bagpipes - man, I love it, either played by scots or played at one of the medieval markets here in Germany! The best is, to have both: when Soar Patrol playes at MPS-Market for example.. 😊 ..ALBA GU BRÀTH!! 😎

Bagpipes will always belong to my personal top 5 instruments I really like ❤ I also like the German word for it, "Dudelsack" 😊 And the Scottish fans are great fellas.

Even though I live in the US now I followed all of that online. I am German and I do not know why but bagpipes playing always makes me cry. A lot of my friends back home in Germany just loved the Fans from Scotland. And your anthem is beautiful.

A German satirical online magazine published articles about Scottish fan doing heroic things in Germany like saving children from a burning orphanage or finishig overnight a railroad construction project that has been going on since 14 years and finding the legendary amber room, all while being drunk. I kinda believe it's not impossible :D I also love bag pipes they make me so emotional as if I had hidden Scottish genes or something. The only encounter with Scottish fans I had was on the Saturday morning after the game against Germany. It was on a heavily delayed train in the morning, they were already drunk but very relaxed and in the greatest mood. Class people indeed!

We need a national holiday, the "beer and whiskey day" which is exactly that. A day for Scots and Germans to simply party together.

Omg. No! When I saw the guy in cologne jumping into the Rhine I audibly gasped. Don’t do that! Never do that! The Rhine’s current is incredibly dangerous. The guy is probably alright but that’s just such a bad idea.

Flùr na h-Alba, or Flouer o Scotland is probably the best National Anthem I‘ve heard yet…Love it ❤

The Scots were the best fans I've ever seen here in Germany. Thanks to the Scottish fans for the great party and come back soon! Maybe even again as an EU member with or without Great Britain!

We are super happy having scottish fans around! Biggest respect to you scottish people - i like your Whiskey, anyway ! 😅

Hearing the backpipes is wonderful as a germany

the scottish fans are always so much fun. Always singing and party. maybe some get to much good german beer. But in most Germans love bagpipes. I always get goosepumps when i here some bagpipes playing. Here in Hamburg are sometimes a bagpipe player in the city pedestrian zone. I always gave him a euro or so. And you can here him a long way down the street. I bet theres no one not touched by amazing grace on a bagpipe. But i bet that one guy is still on the escalator...

❤ .. no matter which team Scotland plays against..they will always make friends afterwards.. 🪗🎷🎸🥁 🙂👌👍

I like the Friendship between our two countries, so friendliy, so familar and everyone accept the others!!!1

My German love letter to the welcoming Scots of the European Football Championship in Germany reads! We (🇩🇪) miss you in permissive Europe! #Schengen 😔🤝👌

The Scottish fans definitely won the EURO 2024!

You can be proud of those wonderful charming Scottish supporters/fans

years ago me and 2 friends where in the local pedestrian area and saw a bagpiper making street music in that moment we split up one got to the supermarket get like 20 beers the next to the bratwurstvendor to get some of those and the next to the atm to get cash to buy some of the guys cds ... we spend the half afternoon there

Fun fact: The hymn of the Cologne football team (1. FC Köln) is based on the scottish folk song "Loch Lomond". Its title is "Mer stonn zo dir, FC Kölle" for everyone who wants to check it out. :) And yes, there are multiple things that make it very dangerous to swim in the Rhine, especially ships, vortices and whirlpools, and the high speed at which the water flows downstream.

Scottish Fans - simply the Best. Greeting from Germany

The national anthem of Scotland is my favorit one out of all national anthems. And its basically all about fighting England back. I like 😂. Cheers from Germany!

I love bagpipes! The seriousness of it, when they are showing their unique culture. Scots have been stereotyped all over the world (in a good way!), also in Germany: kilts and bagpipes (and shortbread...!) and it turns out to be true. Now we have to add another singularity: that Scotland has the best fans of the world, and that's quite something! ❤

Love the bagpipes and I love that the Scottish fans brought them along! 🥰 Too bad you got kicked out so early, it's a little unfair that the big football countries almost always win in the end. That's why I'd support an annual friendly match, just to party together. I hope I'll see the Scots in Berlin soon. 😄

Concerning the bagpipes: We love them! Scotland the brave, which your countrymen played is an awesome piece of music and I absolutely LOVE it!

bagpipes makes me feel scottish (in a good way). i think we would really love the english, if they were scots.

When i grow up, i want to be scottish. I´m 52, it´s never too late to grow up!

The scots invading munich, a heart of german football-culture. Incredible and always friendly and peaceful. Some Bars ran out of beer.... in germany.

I'm not a football/soccer fan. I'm a fan of you Scots and Scotland. But what I know is that we need more Scots partying in Germany.

If Scotland ever becomes independant and wants to join the EU.. im sure they get a resounding YES from Germany..

Pipes n drums give instant goosebumps. One of the first instruments i heard after the floodings of 21 in the Ahr valley, has been a bagpipe, it was so moving.

There are those who want to adopt Scotland as the 17th federal state of the Federal Republic of Germany. This is a first-class statement of friendship and trust ❤

I really enjoy hearing bagpipe music. I also went to a scottish Music Festival in Germany recently, it was fantastic. The Scots have a great culture and I would love to visit Scotland soon. It must be such a beautiful country with nice people, an amazing culture and a glorious landscape aswell. Greetings 🇩🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’m British first, regretfully English second. I Never admit to being English, and always add I’m from the North if asked, unashamedly trying to distance myself from the Metropolitan elite. I do have a wonderful Glaswegian grandson though., Really proud of him, so happy my son went to Glasgow University and stayed there. I think of myself as an honorary Scot. I love Scotland and its people.

I just love The Bagpipe as an instrument🥰🥰🥰

I love the bagpipes. There is a parade once a year where I live, and there is usually one troupe of bagpipers and they are my absolute favorite.

Scottish are the funniest people in the world. unquestionable. haha

Fantastic guys, those Scots. I would love to see them longer in the tournament. Come back whenever you like to. Greetings and Respect from Germany❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇩🇪

Germans love the Sound of Bagpipes.

The sound of bagpipes always give me goosebumps, can‘t do anything against it. Possibly I was a Scot in a former life. 😉 🇩🇪🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

For one or two weeks I met them literally everywhere. Any street or behind any tree there were those three scots, big bellys, short hair, around fifty, smiling and politely greeting or at least nodding like it was their hometown. I miss them already.

The Scottish fans were the best, fairest and most supportive people you could wish for. Thank you very, very much for visiting our country and your support for the coolest parties ;-)) Best wishes (from hamburg) @all of you very nice people and guests - you`re the best fans ever !

Wunderbar!

Oh I'm so sad. Germany just lost the Quaterfinals against Spain. But when I remember the scottish fans the sadness gets down and I'm happy again😊

We love you Scots. Bagpipes are amazing. ❤

You gotta LOVE the Scots ! even when drunk as f_ck they seem peaceful and funny. i welcome all Scrots, all Irish, all Dutch to Germany ! Just be peaceful, drink and laugh with us.

During my stay at a US university, there war a tradition of the Scottish and the Finland scientist to have a beer party. The Germans were also invited ... I had so much fun (and beer).

Well, about the bagpipes,...there are actually around 70 - 80 pipe bands here in Germany, we have even pipe band competitions here. In the north: Peine (near Hannover), in the east Trebsen (near Leipzig), in the south Angelbachtal ( closest big City is Heidelberg) and in the west Goch (closest big City is Duisburg).

Fun fact: Munich pubs ran out of beer while the Scots visited for the opening game in Munich's Allianz Arena. Made the headlines in local Bavarian papers. A bit embarrassing for the Bavarian breweries, since we are world-famous for our beer. 🍻

Don’t jump onto the Rhine in cologne!

Thanks for all the good vibes you added to the Euro 24 💙 It was a blast to have you here.

Ich LIEBE Schottland und nach dieser EM mehr als zuvor!!!❤❤❤❤ ich MUSS unbedingt dieses wunderschöne Land und die Leute besuchen!!!!! Ich freue mich schon sehr auf diesen Trip!!🎉❤

Freedom seeking Germans love their Scottish and Irish brothers and sisters 🥰 profoundly

I always love hearing the pipes honestly :D Such a great tune!

Hello from Germany and yes, I would like to see more of Scotland. The fans and team brought a lot along to make this event a special one. To see how joyful and good spirited people they are was fun and heartwarming. Even if I would suggest to better not jump into a river like the Rhine… especially from a bridge while some could pass out before they even feel the water. 🤭 I still try to figure out whether I would have to say “Prost!” or “Gesundheit!”.

Schotten sind irgendwie etwas Besonderes. Auch ihre wunderschöne Tracht ist etwas besonderes und natürlich der Dudelsack. ❤

hearing the back pipes as an inextremo and korn fan allways gives me sweet memberberries

Love how the guy gets hit by the scooter and his friend is p*ssing his pants - some people's humor is just different

Everytime the Tartan Army sing "Flower of Scotland" always makes the hairs on my arms and legs stand , superb 👏👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

I do love me some bagpipes (Dudelsack or Sackpfeife in German) :) There's some darn cool German bands that include them in their regular line up (not just Kölsch bands, but also like Folk/Medieval Rock/Metal bands ,e.g. Saltatio Mortis) ❤

I love your show. At first I had real problems understanding you. But after listening to 14 audio books with Hamish Macbeth I have no Problem at all anymore. Aye 😂

german and i love bagpipe music! its exactly like you said, its special and wonderful, and it just grips me in a way that no other music does. whenever i hear it randomly i go and listen and pay the player. a few days ago, the tartan army were participating in a parade of Schützenvereine (basically associations of people who shoot rifles competitively as a hobby, pretty long historical tradition here in germany, uniforms and loads of local chapters, all that stuff) and they played scotland the brave and i heard it from the underground station close by and bolted to catch it. its so rare here that ill take everything i can get, especially if its like a whole group. i even got a video :D

The sound of bagpipes always reminds me of my childhood. As a baby, I reacted to the music of the Scots with bagpipes and always listened to it carefully, my parents told me. You Scots came with lots of energy. repect 😉

Freedom for Scotland! Get independence from the UK and we love to take you back in to the EU 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇩🇪

hi a fellow german here, i make it quick...since i am i little child i love the sound of bagpipes...so calming and the different notes hitting at the same time in a stimulating, dissonant style...

As a fan of medieval rock I really enjoy the sound of bagpipes. I can't even explain why, it just sounds so... powerful and ancient, I guess?😂 It just sounds amazing, no matter if you listen to it on it's own or combined with other instruments.

Thanks man, that's the first time someone chose a suggestion of mine. But it will probably be my last time giving a suggestion - I just can't handle the power I have over you.. 😅 And hell yes.. If St. Pauli and The Pars can have a club partnership, so can The Tartan Beasts and the Nationalelf.. It probably also makes for a perfect training opportunity to break in a few newbies in a relaxed and friendly, yet realistic environment. After all, you have to sell the idea to the national trainers and all the "silent partners", who will have to finance it, somehow.. 😅 Btw, the special thing about 5:08 is that the louder part were the Scots and the bit quieter and more far away one.. was the Germany fans. 😁 We kind of are a match made in heaven, no? I'm literally one of the personifications of this love, because my Da was from Inverness and my Mum is from Flensburg, Ex-British Occupation Zone, Germany and I grew up about 70% of my youth in Germany and 30% in Scotland, so I hit the jackpot - I can be proud either way, because they technically all are "my people" and I will "win" either way. 😂

As an Englishman I love hearing the Scots sing flower of Scotland!

Scots,Tartan army are loved,english fans...complaining about cash.just don't come,if you want to americanize us.and be aggressive. Give us scots,any day of the week.

Germany is a good place for events like EURO or World Championships. I don't know why, but as soon as hordes of international fans enter the country the party starts. What is it? Our relaxed police? The beer? Many of us germans get infected every time, become party animals and when everybody goes home we return to being typical germans. This is so crazy, but great fun every time. Maybe we should host "The european friendship games" every few years so we don't need to buy the expensive UEFA Events, more money for party... 😁

hearing bagpipes, as a german, gives me goosebumps every time.

and might I add: You are always welcome

I like the Back Pipes (Dudelsack). It reminds on my school day in the 80´s. The Black Watch was stationed here and they played a lot for the citizen.

I love the anthem way more than ours tho...."and send em homewards tae think again..." thats classy as hell !! what a nice way to say fook off 🙂

They were great, always welcome!

back pipe is wonderful to hear.. not all the time, but sometimes its amazing

Thank you to Scottish fans for having such a good time. My three brothers and nephew were there and still talk about it.

It's funny... commonly there are kind of not-so-nice views on "Da Brits" by "Ze Germans" in general. Especially that "Brits are arrogant"-thingy. But most Germans love the Scots. Apart from the old "Scots are greedy"-stereotype I never heard my fellow Germans talk bad about our scottish friends ^^ And we want the Scots stay in the EU !!!

Good for you people, nice to see fans enjoying themselves and not causing problems in countries they goto

IF there is someone that has almost 2 "Umdrehungen" in himself, and does party hard without bothering his neibAghs too much.,. must be a scotsman ;) GO ON!

I think next time we keep them. Such wonderful people!

Scotland played the Netherlands in a friendly match on the 24th of March 2024. Always welcome to do it again...
