Scotland Loves Boston

We need your help!

So many people came out and saw us in Boston and shared stories, took photos of us and experienced the cone with us.

We don’t want to lose this memories, so we’re asking for you to submit your photo or video with us and the cone, so we can do something special with them when we figure out the final resting place for the cone.

All you need to do is click this link and upload them and we’ll take care of the rest.

The Story

It started with a bit of fun during the World Cup, with Andrew Dobbie, having the ultimate FOMO for not being there to party while everyone was having fun in Boston with the Scotland Tartan Army.

So back in Scotland, he took a traffic cone and had it emblazoned with the word BOSTON on it, and along with some friends, placed it on the Duke of Wellington statue's head in Glasgow to celebrate the twinning of our two cities.

Millions of views later, it's ending with us (Andrew Dobbie, founder & CEO of MadeBrave and Danny Campbell, founder of HOKO design and BBC Home of the Year presenter) flying to Boston with its successor: a hand-illustrated "No Boston No Party" cone, covered in motifs from both cities by Glasgow artist Rob Johnson, already signed by the Chief Executive of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, Stuart Patrick, (in a video that went ultra-viral) and heading over to be signed by the Governor of Massachusetts and the Mayor of Boston.

This whole thing has been built on love, joy and the friendship between two cities. So we want to finish it with something real.

The internet can be a divided, and sometimes an angry place. We'd rather fill it with positivity and joy, and do something positive for people's mental health while we're at it.

That's why we're raising money for two charities, one on each side of the Atlantic: SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health) here in Scotland, and a MAMH (Massachussetts Action for Mental Health) in the US. DONATE HERE.

Every penny donated goes to SAMH and MAMH.

We're also fitting it with a contactless chip so people can tap the cone to donate in person. As far as we know, 'the world's first contactless traffic cone'. Nobody has corrected us yet.

Thanks for being part of it.

No Boston No Party
