The men and women of the Tartan Army enjoy themselves wherever they go and the draw for Euro 2016 promises plenty of opportunities for a good time.
As well as visits to Germany and Georgia, there will be a chance to sample the famously good-value food and drink of Warsaw.
But the fans will also be hopeful of some great football too and the draw has certainly raised expectations. It is more than 15 years since Scotland's last appearance at a major tournament but the fact Euro 2016 will be made up of 24 nations rather than 16 must surely give Scotland a greater chance of qualifying.
It will not be easy of course, partly because Scotland is in the same group as Germany, one of the favourites to win the title, but Scotland's manager Gordon Strachan believes that if his team play at their best, there is a chance of qualifying.
It would certainly be a long-awaited boost for the fans. There is a whole generation of the Tartan Army who have never had the chance to go abroad for a major tournament. The supporters have always provided loyalty, ebullience and famously good behaviour. Now it is the turn of the team to do their bit.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
