Did you know Concord, Massachusetts, has surprising ties to Scotland?
Scottish Enlightenment ideas helped shape early America. Concordโs Ralph Waldo Emerson exchanged ideas with Scottish writer Thomas Carlyle for decades. And many Scottish visitors find a familiar appreciation for history, landscape, and sense of place in New England.
With Scotland coming to Massachusetts for the 2026 World Cup, a centuries-old connection is getting a new chapter.
Come visit Concord, just 20 miles from Boston.
