⚽🏴 No Scotland, No Party! 🏴⚽

The World Cup journey continues this Friday as Scotland take on Morocco, and there's no better place to celebrate Scotland's football heritage than right here in Stirling.

As the national team prepares for another huge match on the world stage, why not take the opportunity to visit one of Scotland's most remarkable sporting treasures?

🏆 The Stirling Smith is home to the world's oldest football, dating back to the 1540s and discovered in the bedchamber of Mary, Queen of Scots at Stirling Castle.

While today's players compete for glory in front of millions, the story of football stretches back centuries – and a fascinating piece of that history can be found right here in Stirling.

⚽ Come and see the world's oldest football
🏛 Visit The Stirling Smith
🏴 Then get behind Scotland as they take on Morocco

From one Scottish football icon to another, we'll be cheering on the national team every step of the way.

💙 Come on Scotland!
