Scotland's famous cross-community rivalries between the likes of Rangers and Celtic, Hibs and Hearts, are as old as football itself. There are easy connections between Scotland's big venues, and great weekend travel options from south of the border. And with the chance to visit the renovated Hampden Park, one of world football's most historic stadiums, there's never been a better excuse to book tickets.
Glasgow offers an incredibly wide range of cultural festivals, plus industrial and artistic heritage built into one of the world's first modern cities, while Edinburgh's Old and New Towns are a living, working World Heritage Site. But more importantly, watching football in Scotland goes to the roots of traditions, family loyalties, local identity, and a culture of sport and free time with echoes throughout Britain.
