The Cone That Turned Boston Wild | Montpelier News

Boston just gave an orange traffic cone a royal welcome — yes, the “Boston Cone,” a symbol of the Tartan Army’s World Cup adventure, flown in from Scotland and now on a charity tour across Massachusetts. Born from a Glasgow prank, it became a global icon when Scottish fans adorned Boston statues with cones, turning a simple safety item into a celebration of joy, unity, and shared fandom. Local leaders honored the cone, signing it and pledging more beer for next time. This quirky symbol, now raising funds for mental health, proves that sometimes the most unexpected things — like a traffic cone — can carry the biggest hearts and brightest stories.
