THE Tartan Army announced their Euro 2024 arrival in Munich with a sea of colour and 11am steins in the sun.
Scotland fans dressed in kilts and kitted out in the national team's colours flooded into the city centre to soak up the atmosphere yesterday morning.
The stunning central square [ has been the city's main square since 1158 and was an ideal meeting point for many Scots who had arrived early.
Adam Shepherd and his pals Josh Mcclelland, 30, Mark Paterson, 30, and Mark Keye, 32, travelled from Tillicoultry in Clackmannanshire.
Joiner Adam, 31, told the Record: "It feels amazing to be here. We've dreamed about it for ages and now we are finally here. It's incredible.
"We flew via London on Tuesday night and arrived at 11pm before heading straight out on the beers with the Scotland fans."
As the four held up their steins, Adam added: "We're a bit rough today but we'll feel a lot better once we get these down us. We've got tickets for the game on Friday but before then we are just going to soak up the atmosphere, sing a few Scotland songs and make the most of it."
Keith Work and his wife Julie were getting pictures in the square with their son Adam, nine.
Keith, 45, said: "It feels amazing to be here. We don't know if we'll be able to have another trip like this for a long time so we decided we had to be here to experience the atmosphere.
