Scotland

Scotland, with its capital in Edinburgh and a population of 5.5 million, is known for whisky, bagpipes, the Highlands, castles, and the Loch Ness legend. Scotland's national animal is the unicorn, and the country has more than 30,000 lochs (lakes), including the mysterious Loch Ness.

In football, the Tartan Army are a 8-time World Cup participant with their best result being Group stage (1954, 1958, 1974, 1978, 1982, 1986, 1990, 1998). Their World Cup journey began in 1954, and they enter the 2026 tournament with John McGinn as their talisman under head coach Steve Clarke. Scotland played in the first ever international football match in 1872 against England, making them one of football's founding nations — yet they've never progressed past the group stage at a World Cup.
