THE Tartan Army is set to donate more than $20,000 to charities in the US region of Providence, Rhode Island, after being welcomed with "open arms" after struggling to find accommodation in nearby Boston.
Providence is closer to the Boston Stadium (Gillette Stadium) in Foxborough, where the national team kicked off its World Cup campaign with a 1-0 victory over Haiti, than Boston city itself, offering a less expensive and more convenient temporary home for thousands of Scottish fans.
