We are updating the Dangerous Dogs legislation.

This will require that children under the age of 12 are not left unsupervised near a prohibited dog in a private or domestic setting.

It will apply to all types of prohibited dogs and come into force on 1 November 2026.

✍️ "The Tartan Army treated our home like their own, and we are better for it."

We were honoured to receive this parting letter from @RedSox President, Sam Kennedy, following our stay in Boston.

[Football Away Days @AwayDaysFB]

The Boston Globe, Boston's largest newspaper, penned an open letter to the Tartan Army for their unforgettable experiences in the city.

"Dear Tartan Army,
"You came for the World Cup, but gave us something more.
"For a week, you turned train stations into singalongs, Fenway into a football ground, and an ordinary June into something we'll be talking about for years.
"Boston has hosted championships, parades, and celebrations of every kind. But we've never hosted guests quite like you all.
"Thank you for the laughter, the bagpipes, and the memories. The World Cup will move on. So will the songs, but we'll never forget the joy you brought to our city."

No one does it like the Tartan Army 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
